An upper bound for the amplitude of limit cycles in Liénard systems with symmetry (Q2259248)

The authors consider the classical Liénard system with symmetry. It is well known that such a system can have a unique limit cycle under some hypotheses. In the paper, an upper bound for the amplitude of the limit cycle is given. As a simple application, the authors obtain also a uniform estimate for the amplitude of the unique limit cycle in the Liénard system corresponding to the van der Pol equation.
