Kolmogorov differential systems with algebraic limit cycles (Q2227041)

Let \(U:\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) be a polynomial in \(x\) and \(y\) of degree \(n\). Let \(\Gamma\) be the set \(\Gamma := \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2:U(x,y)=0\}\). The authors prove the existence of polynomials \(R,S,\Phi: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) such that the polynomial Kolmogorov system \[ \begin{array}{l} \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = x\Big(R(x,y)U(x,y)-y\Phi(x,y)U_y(x,y)\Big), \\ \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = y\Big(S(x,y)U(x,y)+x\Phi(x,y)U_x(x,y)\Big) \end{array} \] has the bounded components of \(\Gamma\) as hyperbolic limit cycles. Exemples are presented.
