An example is given as an application.

The Existence and Uniqueness of Periodic Solutions for a Kind of Lienard Equation with a Deviating Argument

By means of Mawhin's continuation theorem,we study a kind of lie'nard functional differential equations:x"(t)+f(x(t))x'(t)+g(t,x(t-τ(t))) = e(t).Some new results on the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions are obtained.

PROPERTY (X^+) FOR SECOND-ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF GENERALIZED EULER TYPE

In this paper the generalized nonlinear Euler differential equation t^2k（tu＇）u＇＇＋ t（f（u） ＋ k（tu＇））u＇ ＋ g（u） = 0 is considered. Here the functions f（u）, g（u） and k（u） satisfy smoothness conditions which guarantee the uniqueness of solutions of initial value problems, however, no conditions of sub（super） linearity are assumed. W＇e present some necessary and sufficient conditions and some tests for the equivalent planar system to have or fail to have property （X^＋）, which is very important for the existence of periodic solutions and oscillation theory.

On Non Liénard Type with One Limit Cycle

In the present paper, we have investigated the non Liénard system. We have shown that limit cycles may bifurcate at the origin. Bendixons theorem has been used in our study to prove non-existence of limit cycles. We have also proved that the system has unique limit cycle through change of the parameters.

EXISTENCE OF BOUNDED SOLUTIONS ON THE REAL LINE FOR LINARD SYSTEM

The existence of monotone and non_monotone solutions of boundary value problem on the real line for Liénard equation is studied. Applying the theory of planar dynamical systems and the comparison method of vector fields defined by Liénard system and the system given by symmetric transformation or quasi_symmetric transformation, the invariant regions of the system are constructed. The existence of connecting orbits can be proved. A lot of sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of solutions of the boundary value problem are obtained. Especially, when the source function is bi_stable, the existence of infinitely many monotone solusion is obtained.

Coexistence of unbounded solutions and periodic solutions of Liénard equations with asymmetric nonlinearities at resonance

In this paper, we deal with the existence of unbounded orbits of the mapping $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} \theta _1 = \theta + 2n\pi + \frac{1}{\rho }\mu (\theta ) + o(\rho ^{ - 1} ), \hfill \\ \rho _1 = \rho + c - \mu '(\theta ) + o(1), \rho \to \infty \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ , where n is a positive integer, c is a constant and μ(θ) is a 2π-periodic function. We prove that if c > 0 and μ(θ) ≠ 0, θ, ∈ [0, 2?], then every orbit of the given mapping goes to infinity in the future for ρ large enough; if c < 0 and μ(θ) ≠ 0, θ ∈ [0, 2π], then every orbit of the given mapping goes to infinity in the past for ρ large enough. By using this result, we prove that the equation x″+f(x)x′+ax +?bx ?+?(x)=p(t) has unbounded solutions provided that a, b satisfy $1/\sqrt a + 1/\sqrt b = 2/n$ and ?(x) satisfies some limit conditions. At the same time, we obtain the existence of 2π-periodic solutions of this equation.

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR NEUTRAL LINARD EQUATION WITH A STATEMENT-DEPENDENT DEVIATION VARIABLE

Using the theroy of topological degree, the paper studies the periodic solutions to a type of neutral Liénard equation with state-dependent deviation variable. A sufficient condition for the existence of periodic solution is obtained.

Quasi-periodic solutions of a semilinear Liénard equation at resonance

We are concerned with the existence of quasi-periodic solutions for the following equation x" + Fx (x, t)x' + ω2x + φ(x,t) = 0,where F and φ are smooth functions and 2π-periodic in t, ω＞ 0 is a constant. Under some assumptions on the parities of F and φ, we show that the Dancer's function, which is used to study the existence of periodic solutions, also plays a role for the existence of quasi-periodic solutions and the Lagrangian stability (i.e. all solutions are bounded).

On the Integrability of the Abel and of the Extended Liénard Equations

We present some exact integrability cases of the extended Liénard equation y′′+ f(y)(y′)n +k(y)(y′)m + g(y)y′+ h(y) = 0, with n > 0 and m > 0 arbitrary constants, while f(y), k(y), g(y), and h(y) are arbitrary functions. The solutions are obtained by transforming the equation Liénard equation to an equivalent first kind first order Abel type equation given bydv/dy= f(y)v3-n+ k(y)v3-m+ g(y)v2+ h(y)v3, with v = 1/y′.As a first step in our study we obtain three integrability cases of the extended quadratic-cubic Liénard equation,corresponding to n = 2 and m = 3, by assuming that particular solutions of the associated Abel equation are known. Under this assumption the general solutions of the Abel and Liénard equations with coefficients satisfying some differential conditions can be obtained in an exact closed form. With the use of the Chiellini integrability condition, we show that if a particular solution of the Abel equation is known, the general solution of the extended quadratic cubic Liénard equation can be obtained by quadratures. The Chiellini integrability condition is extended to generalized Abel equations with g(y) ≡ 0 and h(y) ≡ 0, and arbitrary n and m, thus allowing to obtain the general solution of the corresponding Liénard equation. The application of the generalized Chiellini condition to the case of the reduced Riccati equation is also considered.

Stochastic Liénard Equations with State-Dependent Switching

This work focuses on stochastic Lienard equations with state-dependent switching. First, the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution are obtained by successive construction method. Next, strong Feller property is proved by introducing certain auxiliary processes and using the Radon-Nikodym derivatives and truncation arguments. Based on these results, positive Harris recurrence and exponential ergodicity are obtained under the Foster-Lyapunov drift conditions. Finally, examples using van der Pol equations are presented for illustrations, and the corresponding Foster-Lyapunov functions for the examples are constructed explicitly.

THEOREM OF EXISTENCE OF EXACT n LIMIT CYCLES FOR LINARD'S EQUATION

Liénard’s equation is a kind of important ordinary differential equations frequently appearing in engineering and technology, and hence receives great attention of many mathematicians. In 1949, H. J. Eckweiler conjectured that the equation +μsin+x=0 has infinite number of limit cycles. Then H. S. Hochstadt and B. Stephan, R. N. D’Heedene and others proved that this equation has at least n limit cycles in the interval |x|<(n+1)π for specified parameter μ. In 1980, Professor Zhang Zhifen proved that this equation has exact n limit cycles in the interval |x|<(n+1)π for any nonzero parameter μ, and thus pushed the related work forward greatly. In this paper, we shall prove that the Liénard’s equation has exact n limit cycles in a finite interval under a class of very general condition.

Dynamics of Nerve Pulse Propagation in a Weakly Dissipative Myelinated Axon

We analytically derived the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation from the Liénard form of the discrete FitzHugh Nagumo model by employing the multiple scale expansions in the semidiscrete approximation. The complex Ginzburg-Landau equation now governs the dynamics of a pulse propagation along a myelinated nerve fiber where the wave dispersion relation is used to explain the famous phenomena of propagation failure and saltatory conduction. Stability analysis of the pulse soliton solution that mimics the action potential fulfills the Benjamin-Feir criteria for plane wave solutions. Finally, results from our numerical simulations show that as the dissipation along the myelinated axon increases, the nerve impulse broadens and finally degenerates to front solutions.
