In the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations the study of limit cycles is an important topic having several implications both in the theory of dynamical systems and applications 1-4. In our contribution a specific planar dynamical system of polynomial type was investigated 5. This nonlinear oscillator can be used to describe self-sustained oscillations of some nonlinear circuits. It was shown that this planar dynamical system exhibits several dynamical regimes: stationary states, limit cycles and bistability. Chaotic dynamics can occur when an harmonic periodic perturbation is applied. Moreover it was shown that synchronisation phenomena can occur when these planar dynamical systems are coupled diffusively.
