The Liénard system and its generalizations are important models of nonlinear oscillators. We study small-amplitude limit cycles of two families of Liénard systems and find exact number of such limit cycles bifurcating from a center or focus at the origin for these families, thus obtaining the precise bound for cyclicity of the families.
Keywords: Limit cycle, Liénard system., cyclicity.
