Abstract

We consider planar autonomous systems dx/dt =P(x,y,λ), dy/dt =Q(x,y,λ) depending on a scalar parameter λ. We present conditions on the functions P and Q which imply that there is a parameter value λ0 such that for &lambda > λ0 this system has a unique limit cycle which is hyperbolic and stable. Dulac-Cherkas functions, rotated vector fields and singularly perturbed systems play an important role in the proof.
