Using the Lyapunov Function V = 1 2 x 1 2 + 1 2 x 2 2 , prove that the omega(ω)-limit set is non-empty for any initial value given for the dynamical system:
x 1 = x 1 + 2 x 2 2 x 1 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) 2
x 2 = 4 x 1 + 3 x 2 3 x 2 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) 2

The Cauchy's inequality can be rewriten in the form
( x 1 1 + x 2 1 ) 2 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) ( 1 2 + 1 2 )
or
( x 1 + x 2 ) 2 2 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) .
This implies that
V ˙ 3 ( x 1 + x 2 ) 2 2 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) 3 6 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) 2 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) 3
It is easy to check that ( x 1 , x 2 ) : x 1 2 + x 2 2 > 3 V ˙ < 0, thus the solution for any initial value enters the bounded set
Ω C = { ( x 1 , x 2 ) : x 1 2 + x 2 2 < C }
in finite time for any C > 3 and stays there forever, hence any solution is bounded and, due to the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem, has a nonempty ω-limit set.
