The Poincaré-Bendixson Theorem
Fabian Immler and Yong Kiam Tan
The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is a classical result in the study of
(continuous) dynamical systems. Colloquially, it restricts the possible
behaviors of planar dynamical systems: such systems cannot be chaotic. In
practice, it is a useful tool for proving the existence of (limiting) periodic
behavior in planar systems. The theorem is an interesting and challenging
benchmark for formalized mathematics because proofs in the literature rely on
geometric sketches and only hint at symmetric cases. It also requires a
substantial background of mathematical theories, e.g., the Jordan curve theorem,
real analysis, ordinary differential equations, and limiting (long-term)
behavior of dynamical systems.
