Extract

The problem of periodicity of solutions of the generalized Liénard equation

has attracted much attention. Many efforts have been made to give sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence and the uniqueness of periodic solutions (limit cycles) of (1·1). There are also some papers on the number of limit cycles of (1·1) (see, for example, [3, 5, 6, 13]). However, there are only a few results on non-existence of periodic solutions of (1·1).
