7.3.2 in Strogatz
"Using numerical integration, compute the limit cycle of Exercise 7.3.1 and verify that it lies in the trapping region you constructed."
Exercise 7.3.1 refers to the system "x'=x-y-x(x^2+5y^2), y'=x+y-y(x^2+y^2)"
7.3.2 A limit cycle is a closed solution curve which is the limit set of nearby solution curves. If the solution curves spiral into the limit cycle as t → ∞, it is a attracting limit cycle. If they spiral into the limit cycle as t → −∞, it is a repelling limit cycle.
