In this paper, we develop an abstract formulation of a problem which arises in the investigation of the number of limit cycles of systems of the formwhere p and q are homogeneous polynomials. This is part of the much wider study of Hilbert's sixteenth problem, in which information is sought about the number of limit cycles of systems of the formwhere P and Q are polynomials, and their possible configurations.

In [6], we considered the equationwhere z ∈ ℂ and the pi are real-valued functions; abstract word-problem concepts and techniques were applied to the local problem of the bifurcation of periodic solutions out of the solution Z ≡ 0. This paper is a sequel to [6]; we present an extension of certain concepts given in that paper, and give a global version of some of our word-problem results.

There is an extensive literature on Liénard's equationand numerous criteria for the existence of limit cycles have been developed: see the survey of Staude[7], for example. Broadly speaking, such results are proved in one of two ways: a bounded solution is shown to exist and the Poincaré–Bendixson theorem used, or an ‘a priori’ bound for periodic solutions is obtained and the methods of degree theory utilized.

The problem of periodicity of solutions of the generalized Liénard equationhas attracted much attention. Many efforts have been made to give sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence and the uniqueness of periodic solutions (limit cycles) of (1·1). There are also some papers on the number of limit cycles of (1·1) (see, for example, [3, 5, 6, 13]). However, there are only a few results on non-existence of periodic solutions of (1·1).

We consider second order differential equations of Liénard type:Such equations have been very widely studied and arise frequently in applications. There is an extensive literature relating to the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions: the paper of Staude[6] is a comprehensive survey. Our interest is in the number of periodic solutions of such equations.

The static and dynamic bifurcations of an autonomous system associated with a twofold zero eigenvalue (of index one) are studied. Attention is focused on Hopf bifurcation solutions in the neighborhood of such a singularity. The family of limit cycles are analyzed fully by applying the formula type results of the Intrinsic Harmonic Balancing method. Thus, parameter-amplitude and amplitude-frequency relationships as well as an ordered form of approximations for the periodic motions are obtained explicitly. A verification technique, with the aid of MAPLE, is used to show the consistency of ordered approximations.

Periodic solutions of Mathieu's equation*where a is a suitable function of q have recently been discussed in several papers in these Proceedings. An elegant method of determining these solutions, which are writtenwas given by Whittaker, † who obtained the integral equationwhich is satisfied by periodic solutions of Mathieu's equation.

The Liénard type equation x'' + f(x, x')x' + g(x) = 0 (i) is considered. We claim that if the associated conservative equation x'' + g(x) = 0 has period annuli then a dissipation f(x, x') exists such that a limit cycle of equation (i) exists in a selected period annulus. Moreover, it is possible to define f(x, x') so that limit cycles appear in all period annuli. Examples are given. A particular example presents two limit cycles of non-convex shape in two disjoint period annuli.

SynopsisTwo-dimensional differential systemsare considered, where P and Q are polynomials. The question of interest is the maximum possible numberof limit cycles of such systems in terms of the degree of P and Q. An algorithm is described for determining a so-called focal basis; this can be implemented on a computer. Estimates can then be obtained for the number of small-amplitude limit cycles. The technique is applied to certain cubic systems; a class of examples with exactly five small-amplitude limit cycles is constructed. Quadratic systems are also considered.

The paper computes the Brouwer degree of some classes of homogeneous polynomials defined on quaternions and applies the results, together with a continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, to the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions of a class of systems of quaternionic valued ordinary differential equations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Topological degree and fixed point theories in differential and difference equations’.
