The theorem states two things about the planar Liénard-type system x' = y − F(x), y' = −x, where F is a real polynomial and the phase plane is ℝ × ℝ. A solution is a differentiable curve z: ℝ → ℝ × ℝ satisfying this system at every time. A periodic orbit is the range of a solution that is periodic with some period T > 0 and is not constant, meaning it takes at least two distinct values. A limit cycle is a periodic orbit C for which there is an open set U containing C such that every periodic orbit contained in U equals C. First, for every polynomial F of degree at most 5, the set of limit cycles of the system has extended cardinality at most 2, so there are at most two limit cycles. Second, there exists a polynomial F of degree at most 5 for which the set of limit cycles has extended cardinality exactly 2. Together these say that the maximum number of limit cycles for such systems with F of degree at most 5 is 2. The theorem is admitted in the source with its proof left as sorry.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
