“…; z, λ, ε) is defined on the interval [0, 2π] provided that ε is close enough to 0, hence we can define the displacement map d : R + × R 12 × I → R + with I some real interval containing the origin as d(z, λ, ε) = r(2π; z, λ, ε)−z. From this definition we see that the isolated positive zeros z 0 ∈ R + of d(., λ, ε) are just the initial conditions for the 2π-periodic solutions of (16), which clearly are in one-to-one correspondence with the limit cycles of system (15) bifurcating from the circle y 2 1 + y 2 2 = z 2 0 included in the period annulus P of the unperturbed harmonic oscillator.…”
