Title: Non-existence of limit cycles for planar vector fields Author: Jaume Gine (Univ. de Lleida, Catalonia, Spain) Abstract: This article presents sufficient conditions for the non-existence of limit cycles for planar vector fields. Classical methods for the nonexistence of limit cycles are connected with the theory developed here. Submitted December 10, 2012. Published March 18, 2014.
