The two-parameter Hamiltonian system with the autonomous perturbation is considered. Via the Mel’nikov method, existence and uniqueness of a limit cycle of the system in a certain region of a two-dimensional space of parameters is proved.

In the paper, we give an existence theorem of periodic solution for Liénard equation $\dot{x} = y - F (x)$ , $\dot{y} = - g (x)$ . As a result, we estimate the amplitude $ρ (μ)$ (maximal $x$ -value) of the limit cycle of the van der Pol equation $\dot{x} = y - μ (x^{3} / 3 - x)$ , $\dot{y} = - x$ from above by $ρ (μ) < 2.3439$ for every $μ \neq 0$ . The result is an improvement of the author’s previous estimation $ρ (μ) < 2.5425$ .
