Planar oscillator cycle-count assurance

Family 143: Hilbert's sixteenth problem: uniform bounds for limit cycles. First application triage, 9 October 2026 Australia/Brisbane.

Problem and potential new use

Control-model researchers can compare a quintic Liénard system with the exact at-most-two isolated-cycle statement.

Applicability and commercial boundary

The general polynomial degree bound has no effective formula in the introduction. The selected formal scope covers only the quintic Liénard specialization, not general Hilbert-sixteenth boundedness.

Initial business decision

Research or conditional engineering only until an effective implementation and a recurring buyer problem are identified. No commercial demand or profitability is established. Where a direct product bridge is weak, the legitimate use is a research reference or evidence adapter, rather than a new standalone company.

Next verification action

Extract the specific system and independently validate any computed cycle rather than treating a simulation as exhaustive.

Evidence scope

The catalog statement was individually reviewed. Main-paper abstracts and available selected formal scopes were additionally inspected; explicit effectiveness passages were inspected for 076, 143 and 178. No independent proof verification was run.
