Abstract
The notion of the family boundary curves (FBC), introduced recently fo r two-dimensional conservative systems, is extended to account for, ge nerally, nonconservative autonomous systems of two degrees of freedom. Formulae are found for the force components X(x, y), Y(x, y) which pr oduce a preassigned family of orbits f(x, y) = c lying inside a preass igned, open or closed, region B(x, y) greater-than-or-equal-to 0 of th e xy plane.
