On a codimension 3 bifurcation of plane vector fields with symmetry
We give a new proof of Jouanolou’s theorem about non-existence of algebraic solutions to the system . We also present some generalizations of the results of Darboux and Jouanolou about algebraic Pfaff forms with algebraic solutions.
We show that any equation dy/dx = P(x,y) with P a polynomial has a global (on ℝ²) smooth first integral nonconstant on any open domain. We also present an example of an equation without an analytic primitive first integral.
In this paper, we discuss the conditions for a center for the generalized Liénard system or with , , , , , , and for . By using a different technique, that is, by introducing auxiliary systems and using the differential inquality theorem, we are able to generalize and improve some results in [1], [2].
In the paper, we give an existence theorem of periodic solution for Liénard equation , . As a result, we estimate the amplitude (maximal -value) of the limit cycle of the van der Pol equation , from above by for every . The result is an improvement of the author’s previous estimation .
