* People were also getting stuck on #4 because they did not know that the trace of a matrix is equal to the sum of the eigenvalues. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A possible hint for future years is that the determinant of a matrix is equal to the product of its eigenvalues, and the trace of a matrix is equal to the sum of the eigenvalues.&lt;br /&gt;

Let $\Phi(t)$ be the fundamental matrix for $\dot x = A(t) x$ satisfying $\Phi(0) = I$.  Use Liouville&amp;#039;s theorem, which states that&lt;br /&gt;

* There was some trouble on #5 regarding showing that the limit cycle crossed both x=+1 AND x=-1 and not just one or the other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Perko had a fix for the last issue, in their solution mentioning the symmetry of the Van der Pol equation with respect to x to -x and y to -y.  If we wanted to shorten these for the future, perhaps that could be suggested as a hint.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Also, some people, as in last year, thought that they had to prove the existence of the limit cycle (this is for problem 5).  I just told them that for this equation it is known that there already exists one limit cycle and so they could use the fact that it is well known that it has a limit cycle in their proof.  To shorten this the question could possibly be reworded so they understand that they could use the fact that the limit cycle exists and that there is only one for this particular system (referring to other sections in Perko if necessary to see that there exists a limit cycle and that there is only one limit cycle).&lt;br /&gt;
--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Perko, Section 3.9, problem 4a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;:&lt;br /&gt;

  \endaligned&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/amsmath&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
must cross the vertical lines $x = \pm 1$.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hint: you can use the fact (shown in Perko) that a limit cycle exists and that it is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
