Abstract: In this paper, we study the maximum number, denoted by H(m,n), of hyperelliptic limit cycles of the Li'enard systems dot x=y, qquad dot y=-f_m(x)y-g_n(x), where, respectively, fm(x) and gn(x) are real polynomials of degree m and n, gn(0)=0. The main results of the paper are as follows: In term of m and n of the system, we obtain the upper bound and lower bound of H(m,n) in all the possible cases. Furthermore, these upper bound can be reached in some cases.


This paper is devoted to a study of the maximum number \(H(m, n)\) of hyperelliptic limit cycles for the Liénard system \[\dot{x}=y, \quad \dot{y}=-f_m(x)y-g_n(x),\] where \(f_m(x)\) and \(g_n(x)\) are real polynomials of degree \(m\) and \(n\) respectively. A limit cycle is called an algebraic limit cycle if it is contained in an invariant algebraic curve defined by equation \(F(x, y) = 0\). If \(F(x, y)\) takes the form \(F(x, y) = (y + P(x))^2 - Q(x)\), where \(P\) and \(Q\) are polynomials, then the invariant curve is called as hyperelliptic. Correspondingly, a limit cycle is said to be hyperelliptic if it is contained in an invariant hyperelliptic curve. The main results of the paper represent the upper as well as the lower bounds for \(H(m,n)\). The authors claim that in most cases these bounds are sharp.
