Abstract
In this paper, we prove that a predator-prey model with sigmoid functional response and logistic growth for the prey has a unique stable limit cycle, if the equilibrium point is locally unstable. This extends the results of the literature where it was proved that the equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable, if it is locally stable. For the proof, we use a combination of three versions of Zhang Zhifen’s uniqueness theorem for limit cycles in Liénard systems to cover all possible limit cycle configurations. This technique can be applied to a wide range of differential equations where at most one limit cycle occurs.
