Abstract: In this paper, we carry out the global bifurcation analysis of the Kukles system representing a planar polynomial dynamical system with arbitrary linear and cubic right-hand sides and having an anti-saddle at the origin. Using our geometric approach and the Wintner-Perko termination principle, we solve the problem on the maximum number and distribution of limit cycles in this system.
Keywords: planar polynomial dynamical system; Kukles cubic system; field rotation parameter; bifurcation; limit cycle; Wintner-Perko termination principle.
