    Welcome to TeX.SX! Using tikz, for example, it is possible to do things like this. Can you post a minimal working example to show what you have tried? People are more likely to help if you can given them something to work from -- at a minimum supplying your equations without the circled dots would be a good start.

The coefficients remind me of Bell polynomials. The following solution is far from perfect, but it’s a start.

    Very similar to Ruixi Zhang's nice answer except that I use fit to draw the dashed contours. This spares you from entering too many explicit coordinates.
