A limit cycle is a self-sustained periodic motion appearing in autonomous ordinary differential equations. As the period of the limit cycle is a-priori unknown, it is challenging to find them as stationary states of a rotating ansatz.…

It is possible that self-induced oscillations appear in reactors, and that their range does not reach the steady state, although such state exists. To prove this, a cascade of tank reactors coupled with mass recycle loop was tested…

Rhythmic fluctuations in acoustic energy and accompanying neuronal excitations in cortical oscillations are characteristic of human speech, yet whether a corresponding rhythmicity inheres in the articulatory movements that generate speech…

Lienard systems are very important mathematical models describing oscillatory processes arising in applied sciences. In this paper, we study polynomial Lienard systems of arbitrary degree on the plane, and develop a new method to obtain a…

Limit-cycle oscillators are the basic building blocks for synchronization; yet, the notion of a quantum limit cycle has remained unclear. Here, we study quantum limit cycles and synchronization in the presence of continuous heterodyne…

Fluctuations and noise may alter the behavior of dynamical systems considerably. For example, oscillations may be sustained by demographic fluctuations in biological systems where a stable fixed point is found in the absence of noise. We…

Some limit theorems are proven for the linear oscillator with random coefficients. The asymptotic behaviour of the moments is studied in detail. The technique presented in this paper can be applied to general linear systems with noise and…

Non-equilibrium dynamics are present in many aspects of our lives, ranging from microscopic physical systems to the functioning of the brain. What characterizes stochastic models of non-equilibrium processes is the breaking of the…

This paper is devoted to study the limit cycle problem of a cubic reversible system with an isochronous center, when it is perturbed inside a class of polynomials. An upper bound of the number of limit cycles is obtained using the Abelian…

In the context of studying periodic processes, this paper investigates first under which conditions switching affine systems in the plane generate stable limit cycles. Based on these conditions, a design methodology is proposed by which the…

Considering Limit Cycles as one of the limits of Lienard equation, an analyis analogous to centre manifold analysis has been done for a $3-D$ nonlinear system exhibiting Limit Cycle. A rigorous study on radius of the Limit Cycle orbit has…

Continuing the investigation for the number of crossing limit cycles of nonsmooth Li\'enard systems in [Nonlinearity 21(2008), 2121-2142] for the case of a unique equilibrium, in this paper we consider the case of any number of equilibria.…

We prove that every heteroclinic saddle loop (a two-saddle cycle) occurring in an analytic finite-parameter family of plane analytic vector fields, may generate no more than a finite number of limit cycles within the family.

To estimate the time, many organisms, ranging from cyanobacteria to animals, employ a circadian clock which is based on a limit-cycle oscillator that can tick autonomously with a nearly 24h period. Yet, a limit-cycle oscillator is not…

We demonstrate that strongly asymmetric limit cycles can be observed in the system of three identical ring oscillators (3-gene networks known as Repressilators) globally coupled by signal molecule diffusion added to the model in a way like…

We consider the multiplicity of limit cycles that appear when a hyperbolic polycycle is perturbed. We prove, in particular, that if such unfolding happens in generic finite-parameter families, the multiplicity of every new limit cycle does…

We consider the Li\'enard equation and we give a sufficient condition to ensure existence and uniqueness of limit cycles. We compare our result with some other existing ones and we give some applications.
