The study of the Riccati equationplays an essential part in the ‘large parameter’ theory of the inhomogeneous van der Pol equation; see for example Littlewood(1), (2). The crucial result is Lemma B of (1), restated and proved as Lemma 5 of (2); for the present paper the relevant parts of it are as follows:Lemma 1. Let z = z(x) be the solution of (1·1) which satisfies the initial condition z = 0 at x = 0, and assume α > 0. Then there is a unique β0 = β0(α) with the property that(i) if β > β0 then z → − ∞ as x → + ∞;(ii) if β < β0 then z → + ∞ at a vertical asymptote x = x0(α,β);(iii) if β = β0 then z ≥ 0 in 0 ≤ x < + ∞ and z = x + β0 + o(1) as x → + ∞.Moreover, β0(α) is a continuous monotone increasing function of α.

We consider the equation.where ø = λt + μ; the dot denotes differentiation with respect to a real variable t (frequently for convenience called ‘time’); b, λ, k, μ are parameters independent of x, ẋ t and b, λ, μ independent of k.

Time-periodic perturbations of an asymmetric Duffing–Van-der-Pol equation close to an integrable equation with a homoclinic "figure-eight" of a saddle are considered. The behavior of solutions outside the neighborhood of "figure-eight" is studied analytically. The problem of limit cycles for an autonomous equation is solved and resonance zones for a nonautonomous equation are analyzed. The behavior of the separatrices of a fixed saddle point of the Poincaré map in the small neighborhood of the unperturbed "figure-eight" is ascertained. The results obtained are illustrated by numerical computations.

Abstract In this paper the fundamental concept (due to Euler, 1734) of how to make a first order ordinary differential equation exact by means of integrating factors, is extended to n-th order (n ≥ 2) ordinary differential equations and to systems of first order ordinary differential equations. For new classes of differential equations first integrals or complete solutions can be constructed. Also a perturbation method based on integrating factors can be developed. To show how this perturbation method works the method is applied to the well-known Van der Pol equation.
