Abstract
Conditions are given that guarantee the nonexistence of periodic orbits lying entirely in a simply connected set. The conditions are formulated in terms of matrix inequalities involving the variational equation. For systems defined in R the conditions are equivalent to Bendixon's criterion. A connection with analytic estimates of the Hausdorff dimension of invariant compact sets is emphasized.
