Bendixson's Criterion is a mathematical theorem used to determine the existence of limit cycles in two-dimensional autonomous systems. It states that if a continuous vector field on the plane has a region where the divergence is non-zero and does not vanish, then there can be no limit cycles in that region. This criterion is essential for understanding the behavior of dynamical systems and provides insight into stability and oscillatory phenomena.
