The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem and arational foliations on the sphere
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 46 (1996) no. 4, pp. 1159-1181.

Foliations on the 2-sphere with a finite number of non-orientable singularities are considered. For this class a Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is established. In particular, the work gives an answer to a problem of H. Rosenberg concerning labyrinths.

Nous considérons les feuilletages de la 2-sphère avec un nombre fini de singularités non-orientables. Nous établissons un théorème de type Poincaré-Bendixson. En particulier, nous résolvons un problème de H. Rosenberg concernant les labyrinthes.
