Question
Find a trapping region, and apply the Poincare-Bendixon Theorem to prove the existence of
a limit cycle. Hint: try using a rectangle for your bounding region, with two of its sides lying
on x and y axes.
Explanation / Answer
r* is stable and unique -> system has stable limit cycle
given by the circle r=1.
DP(x*) is linearized Poincare map at x*
