On the Existence of Exactly $N$ Limit Cycles in Lienard Systems

Understand

A theorem on the existence of exactly $N$ limit cycles around a critical point for the Lienard system $\ddot{x}+f(x) \dot{x}+g(x) =0$ 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.
