Abstract

For plane vector fields depending on three parameters we describe an algorithm to construct a curve in the parameter space such that to each point of this curve there belongs a vector field possessing a limit cycle of multiplicity three. One point of this curve is related to the bifurcation of a limit cycle of multiplicity three from an equilibrium point. The underlying procedure is a continuation method.
