Review text

It is proved in [\textit{A. A. Andronov} et al., Qualitative Theory of Second-Order Dynamic Systems, John Wiley \& Sons, New York (1973; Zbl 0282.34022)] that for \(\varepsilon_ 1 \in {\mathcal R}^ 1\), \(\varepsilon_ 2 \in {\mathcal R}^ 1\), and \(\varepsilon_ 1 \varepsilon_ 2 < 0\) the equation (1) \(dx/dt = y\), \(dy/dt = x + x^ 2 - (\varepsilon_ 1 + \varepsilon_ 2 x)y\) does not possess nontrivial periodic solutions in \(\varepsilon_ 1/ \varepsilon_ 2 < 0\) and \(\varepsilon_ 1/ \varepsilon_ 2 \geq 3/2\). By constructing a Dulac function and using the concept of Duff's rotated vector field, it is proved in this note that the equation also does not possess nontrivial periodic solutions in \(0 < \varepsilon_ 1/ \varepsilon_ 2 < 3/2\). The conclusion is that (1) does not have nontrivial periodic solutions except for \(\varepsilon_ 1 \varepsilon_ 2 = 0\).
