Similar to nonlinear oscillators, three types of solutions are found. They are a stable stationary state (focus), a limit cycle, and a runaway state. It is suggested that each solution corresponds to a realistic state of interstellar medium. An entrained state of interstellar medium by an external periodic force shows a chaotic state and/or a new limit-cycle state, depending upon the frequency and the amplitude of the external force. The present result suggests a new approach to the evolution of galaxies.}, pages = {77--86}, title = {Cyclic phase changes of interstellar medium}, volume = {35}, year = {1983} }
