Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least \(n\) or exactly \(n\) limit cycles for the Liénard differential systems. (English) Zbl 1131.34026

The authors consider the planar autonomous system
\[ \dot{x}=y-F(x),\quad \dot{y}=-g(x) \]
corresponding to the Liénard equation. They give conditions for the existence of not less than \(n\) limit cycles (or exactly \(n\) limit cycles).
