Limit cycles and bounded trajectories for a nonlinear second-order differential equation

In this article, we determine the trajectories of maximum deviation, and the closed trajectories of maximum deviation for nonlinear differential equations of the form $$ ddot y+2a(t,y,dot y) dot y+b(t,y, dot y)y=c(t,y,dot y) $$ where the coefficients and the right-hand side are piecewise cont...
