Transversally perturbed planar dynamical systems

Roger McCann

Vol. 35 (1970), No. 1, 187–194
Abstract

This paper investigates the behavior of limit cycles of a planar dynamical system which has been perturbed transversally. In particular, it is shown that if C is a limit cycle of the unperturbed dynamical system, then there are limit cycles of the perturbed dynamical systems arbitrarily close to C. Also, if C is an exterior Iimit cycle of the unperturbed dynamical system, then there is an outer neighborhood of C which consists solely of cycles of the perlurbed dynamical systems.
