In this work we present an alternative method to build Dulac functions that allow one to discard the existence of periodic solutions for differential equations in the plane using partial differential equations. We give some examples to illustrate applications of these results.
In this paper, we present a method for constructing a Dulac function for mathematical models in population biology, in the form of systems of ordinary differential equations in the plane.
We provide sufficient conditions on the components of a vector field, which ensure the existence of Dulac functions depending on special functions for such vector field. We also present some applications and examples in order to illustrate our results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
