Abstract
The problem of uniqueness of limit cycles for the Lienard equation is investigated. Some sufficient conditions are presented which complement recent related results. The proofs are based on an energy level comparison method which guarantees that all the possible limit cycles intersect the lines x = α and x = β, being a < 0 < β the two nontrivial zeros of F(x). Some examples illustrate the range of applicability of the main results. ©Dynamic Publishers, Inc.File in questo prodotto:
