On the Center of the Generalized Liénard System

In this paper, we discuss the conditions for a center for the generalized Liénard system (E)₁

Stability of Liénard Equation

We consider a balance stability problem for the second order nonlinear differential equations of the Liénard type. Investigations are carried out by means of constant-sign Lyapunov functions for problems of stability, asymptotical stability (local and global), and instability. We implicitly formulate a method of construction of constant-sign functions suitable for solving problems of motion stability. Special attention is paid to a problem of non-asymptotical stability, where we demonstrate possibilities of new assertions that rely upon a usage of constant-sign Lyapunov functions.     

Integrability and solvability of polynomial Liénard differential systems

We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions of Liouvillian integrability for Liénard differential systems describing nonlinear oscillators with a polynomial damping and a polynomial restoring force. We prove that Liénard differential systems are not Darboux integrable excluding subfamilies with certain restrictions on the degrees of the polynomials arising in the systems. We demonstrate that if the degree of a polynomial responsible for the restoring force is greater than the degree of a polynomial producing the damping, then a generic Liénard differential system is not Liouvillian integrable with the exception of linear Liénard systems. However, for any fixed degrees of the polynomials describing the damping and the restoring force we present subfamilies possessing Liouvillian first integrals. As a by-product of our results, we find a number of novel Liouvillian integrable subfamilies. In addition, we study the existence of nonautonomous Darboux first integrals and nonautonomous Jacobi last multipliers with a time-dependent exponential factor.

Conditions for polynomial Liénard centers

In 1999, Christopher gave a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomial Li′enard centers, which requires coupled functional equations, where the primitive functions of the damping function and the restoring function are involved, to have polynomial solutions. In order to judge whether the coupled functional equations are solvable, in this paper we give an algorithm to compute a Gr¨obner basis for irreducible decomposition of algebraic varieties so as to find algebraic relations among coefficients of the damping function and the restoring function. We demonstrate the algorithm for polynomial Li′enard systems of degree 5, which are divided into 25 cases. We find all conditions of those coefficients for the polynomial Li′enard center in 13 cases and prove that the origin is not a center in the other 12 cases.

Periodic solutions of Liénard equation with a singularity and a deviating argument

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions of the Liénard equation with a singularity and a deviating argument $x^{″}+f\left(x\right)x^{\prime }+g(t,x(t-\sigma ))=0\text{.}$ When $g$ has a strong singularity at $x=0$ and satisfies a new small force condition at $x=\infty$, we prove that the given equation has at least one positive $T$-periodic solution.

On the number of limit cycles of polynomial Liénard systems

Liénard systems are very important mathematical models describing oscillatory processes arising in applied sciences. In this paper, we study polynomial Liénard systems of arbitrary degree on the plane, and develop a new method to obtain a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles. Using the method and basing on some known results for lower degree we obtain new estimations of the number of limit cycles in the systems which greatly improve existing results.     

On the criteria for integrability of the Liénard equation

The Liénard equation is of a high importance from both mathematical and physical points of view. However a question about integrability of this equation has not been completely answered yet. Here we provide a new criterion for integrability of the Liénard equation using an approach based on nonlocal transformations. We also obtain some of the previously known criteria for integrability of the Liénard equation as a straightforward consequence of our approach’s application. We illustrate our results by several new examples of integrable Liénard equations.     

The applied geometry of a general Liénard polynomial system

In this work, applying a canonical system with field rotation parameters and using geometric properties of the spirals filling the interior and exterior domains of limit cycles, we solve the limit cycle problem for a general Liénard polynomial system with an arbitrary (but finite) number of singular points.
