Abstract: Applying a canonical system with field rotation parameters and using geometric properties of the spirals filling the interior and exterior domains of limit cycles, we solve the limit cycle problem for a general Liénard system with polynomial restoring and damping functions.

Keywords: planar polynomial dynamical systems; Liénard system; limit cycle bifurcation; field rotation parameters; singular point; damping; polynomial restoring.
