Abstract

In this paper, we consider the nondegeneracy of a Liénard equation

$$\begin{aligned} x''(t)+f(x(t))x'(t)+a(t)x(t)=0. \end{aligned}$$

Besides, by nondegenerate results and Manásevich-Mawhin continuation theorem, we prove the existence and uniqueness of periodic solution of the related Liénard equation.
