Abstract

We consider the problem of the existence of limit cycles for autonomous systems of differential equations. We present quite elementary considerations that can be useful in discussing qualitative issues that arise in the course of ordinary differential equations. We establish that any simple closed curve defined by the equation \(F(x,y)=1\) with a sufficiently general function \(F\) is a limit cycle for the corresponding autonomous system on the plane (and even for an infinite number of systems depending on the real parameter). These systems are written out explicitly. We analyze in detail several specific examples. Graphic illustrations are provided.
