Synopsis

The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem, concerning the existence of periodic orbits of plane autonomous systems, is extended to higher order systems under certain conditions. Under similar conditions, a complementary theorem on the existence of recurrent orbits is also proved. For the feedback control equation, these conditions are reduced to a form which can be easily verified in practice.
