Periodic solutions of polynomial non-autonomous differential equations

Mohamad A. M. Alwash

Abstract:
We present some results on the number of periodic solutions for scalar non-autonomous polynomial equations of degree five. We also consider a class of polynomial equations of any degree. Our results give upper bounds for the number of limit cycles of two-dimensional systems.
