    On the construction of a class of generalized Kukles systems having at most one limit cycle
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Schneider, Klaus R.; Grin, Alexander
    Consider the class of planar systems fracdxdt=y,quadfracdydt=−x+musumj=03hj(x,mu)yj depending on the real parameter $mu$. We are concerned with the inverse problem: How to construct the functions $h_j$ such that the system has not more than a given number of limit cycles for $mu$ belonging to some (global) interval. Our approach to treat this problem is based on the construction of suitable Dulac-Cherkas functions $Psi(x,y,mu)$ and exploiting the fact that in a simply connected region the number of limit cycles is not greater than the number of ovals contained in the set defined by $Psi(x,y,mu)=0.$

    Global bifurcation analysis of a class of planar systems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Grin, Alexander; Schneider, Klaus R.
    We consider planar autonomous systems dx/dt =P(x,y,λ), dy/dt =Q(x,y,λ) depending on a scalar parameter λ. We present conditions on the functions P and Q which imply that there is a parameter value λ0 such that for &lambda > λ0 this system has a unique limit cycle which is hyperbolic and stable. Dulac-Cherkas functions, rotated vector fields and singularly perturbed systems play an important role in the proof.
