Li\'enard equations of the form $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with $f(x)$ an even function, are considered in the weakly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to 0$). A perturbative algorithm for obtaining the number, amplitude and shape of…
Lienard systems of the form $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with f(x) an even function, are studied in the strongly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to\infty$). A method for obtaining the number, amplitude and loci of the limit cycles of…
Li\'{e}nard equations, $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with $f(x)$ an even continuous function are considered. In the weakly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to 0$), the number and an order zero in $\epsilon$ approximation of the amplitude…
Lienard systems of the form $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with f(x) an even continous function, are considered. The bifurcation curves of limit cycles are calculated exactly in the weak ($\epsilon\to 0$) and in the strongly…
Aim of this work is the study of differential equations governing non--dissipative non--linear oscillators; these arise in different physical models such as the treatment of relativistic oscillators, up to generalizations to Duffing's…
A new method is presented for the analysis of limit cycle oscillations in mixed-feedback systems. The calculation of the limit cycle is reformulated as the zero finding of a mixed-monotone relation, that is, of the difference of two…
In this paper, we study a Lienard system of the form dot{x}=y-F(x), dot{y}=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial. We introduce a method that gives a sequence of algebraic approximations to the equation of each limit cycle of the system. This…
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.…
We prove a uniqueness result for limit cycles of the second order ODE $\ddot x + \dot x \phi(x,\dot x) + g(x) = 0$. Under mild additional conditions, we show that such a limit cycle attracts every non-constant solution. As a special case,…
The limit cycle of the van der Pol oscillator, $\ddot{x}+ \epsilon (x^2-1) \dot{x} + x =0$, is studied in the plane $(x,\dot{x})$ by applying the homotopy analysis method. A recursive set of formulas that approximate the amplitude and form…
A class of modified Duffing oscillator differential equations, having nonlinear damping forces, are shown to have finite time dynamics, i.e., the solutions oscillate with only a finite number of cycles, and, thereafter, the motion is zero.…
The phase description is a powerful tool for analyzing noisy limit cycle oscillators. The method, however, has found only limited applications so far, because the present theory is applicable only to the Gaussian noise while noise in 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…
In recent papers we have introduced a method for the study of limit cycles of the Lienard system: dot{x}=y-F(x), dot{y}=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial. The method gives a sequence of polynomials R_n(x), whose roots are related to the…
We consider difference equations with several non-monotone deviating arguments and nonnegative coefficients. The deviations (delays and advances) are, generally, unbounded. Sufficient oscillation conditions are obtained in an explicit…
We consider perturbed pendulum-like equations on the cylinder of the form $ \ddot x+\sin(x)= \varepsilon \sum_{s=0}^{m}{Q_{n,s} (x)\, \dot x^{s}}$ where $Q_{n,s}$ are trigonometric polynomials of degree $n$, and study the number of limit…
We present a simpler proof of the existence of an exact number of one or more limit cycles to the Lienard system $\dot{x}=y-F(x) $, $\dot {y}=-g(xt)$, under weaker conditions on the odd functions $F(x) $ and $g(x) $ as compared to those…
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…
In this paper, the existence and number of non-contractible limit cycles of the Josephson equation $\beta \frac{d^{2}\Phi}{dt^{2}}+(1+\gamma \cos \Phi)\frac{d\Phi}{dt}+\sin \Phi=\alpha$ are studied, where $\phi\in \mathbb S^{1}$ and…
In this paper we consider the limit cycles of the planar system $$\frac{d}{dt}(x,y)=\mathbf X_n+\mathbf X_m, $$ where $\mathbf X_n$ and $\mathbf X_m$ are quasi-homogeneous vector fields of degree $n$ and $m$ respectively. We prove that…
