Separatrix cycles for a planar quadratic vector field are studied. The results obtained are used to show that in any bounded region of the plane a quadratic vector field has at most a finite number of limit cycles.

Bifurcation of limit cycles from a quadratic reversible center with the unbounded elliptic separatrix
The paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in general quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible and non-Hamiltonian system, whose period annulus is bounded by an elliptic separatrix related to a singularity at infinity in the poincar'{e} disk. Attention goes to the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus under perturbations. By using the appropriate Picard...

متن کاملUpper Bounds for the Number of Limit Cycles of Some Planar Polynomial Differential Systems
We give an effective method for controlling the maximum number of limit cycles of some planar polynomial systems. It is based on a suitable choice of a Dulac function and the application of the well-known Bendixson-Dulac Criterion for multiple connected regions. The key point is a new approach to control the sign of the functions involved in the criterion. The method is applied to several examp...
متن کاملConstruction of generalized pendulum equations with prescribed maximum number of limit cycles of the second kind
Consider a class of planar autonomous differential systems with cylindric phase space which represent generalized pendulum equations. We describe a method to construct such systems with prescribed maximum number of limit cycles which are not contractible to a point (limit cycles of the second kind). The underlying idea consists in employing Dulac-Cherkas functions. We also show how this approac...
متن کاملOn the Number of Limit Cycles of Planar Quadratic Vector Fields with a Perturbed Center
We investigate the number of limit cycles of a planar quadratic vector field with a perturbed center-like singular point. An upper bound is obtained on the number of δ-good limit cycles of such a vector field (Theorem 1). Here δ is a parameter characterizing the limit cycles: it shows how far those cycles are from the singular points of the vector field and from the infinite points. The bound a...
