Limit cycle bifurcations of a reduced Topp system

arXiv:1904.05311

Abstract

In this paper, we carry out a global qualitative analysis of a reduced planar quartic Topp system which models the dynamics of diabetes. In particular, studying global bifurcations, we prove that such a system can have at most two limit cycles.
