Abstract

A theorem on the existence of exactly NN limit cycles around a critical point for the Lienard system x¨+f(x)x˙+g(x)=0\ddot{x}+f(x) \dot{x}+g(x) =0 is proved. An alogrithm on the determination of a desired number of limit cycles for this system has been considered which might become relevant for a Lienard system with incomplete data.
