Crossing Limit Cycles of Planar Piecewise Hamiltonian Systems with Linear Centers Separated by Two Parallel Straight Lines

In this paper, we have studied several classes of planar piecewise Hamiltonian systems with three zones separated by two parallel straight lines. Firstly, we give the maximal number of limit cycles in these classes of systems with a center in two zones and without equilibrium points in the other zone (or with a center in one zone and without equilibrium points in the other zones). In addition, we also give examples to illustrate that it can reach the maximal number.

Gyllenberg and Yan(Discrete Contin Dyn Syst Ser B 11(2):347–352,2009)presented a system in Zeeman’s class 30 of 3-dimensional Lotka-Volterra(3D LV)competitive systems to admit at least two limit cycles,one of which is generated by the Hopf bifurcation and the other is obtained by the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem.Yu et al.(J Math Anal Appl 436:521–555,2016,Sect.3.4)recalculated the first Liapunov coefficient of Gyllenberg and Yan’s system to be positive,rather than negative as in Gyllenberg and Yan(2009),and pointed out that the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is not applicable for that system.Jiang et al.(J Differ Equ 284:183–218,2021,p.213)proposed an open question:“whether Zeeman’s class 30 can be rigorously proved to admit at least two limit cycles by the Hopf theorem and the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem?”This paper provides four systems in Zeeman’s class 30 to admit at least two limit cycles by the Hopf theorem and the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem and gives an answer to the above question.

ON THE EXISTENCE OF LIMIT CYCLES OF LIENARD EQUATION

Co-Existence of Local Limit Cycles from Degenerate and Weak Foci in Cubic Systems

In this paper, we investigate the existence of local limit cycles obtained by perturbing degenerate and weak foci of two-dimensional cubic systems of differential equations. In particular, we consider a specific class of such systems where the origin is a degenerate focus. By utilizing a Liapunov function method and the stability results that follow, we first determine constraints on the system to maximize the number of local limit cycles that can be obtained by perturbing the degenerate focus at the origin. Once this is established, we add on the additional assumption that the system has a weak focus at , where , and determine conditions to maximize the number of additional local limit cycles that can be obtained near this fixed point. We will ultimately achieve an example of a cubic system with three local limit cycles about the degenerate focus and one local limit cycle about the weak focus.

How to Make Systems of Nonlinear Autonomous ODEs with Attractor-Behavior, by First Making the General Solutions: Part Two

This paper is presenting a new method for making first-order systems of nonlinear autonomous ODEs that exhibit limit cycles with a specific geometric shape in two and three dimensions, or systems of ODEs where surfaces in three dimensions have attractor behavior. The method is to make the general solutions first by using the exponential function, sine, and cosine. We are building up the general solutions bit for bit according to constant terms that contain the formula of the desired limit cycle, and differentiating them. In Part One, we used only formulas for closed curves where all parts of the formula were of the same degree. In order to use many other formulas for closed curves, the method in this paper is to introduce an additional variable, and we will get an additional ODE. We will choose the part of the formula with the highest degree and multiply the other parts with an extra variable, so that all parts of the formula have the same degree, creating a constant term containing this new formula. We will place it under the fraction line in the solutions, building up the rest of the solutions according to this constant term and differentiating. Keeping this extra variable constant, we will achieve almost the desired result. Using the methods described in this paper, it is possible to make some systems of nonlinear ODEs that are exhibiting limit cycles with a distinct geometric shape in two or three dimensions and some surfaces having attractor behavior, where not all parts of the formulas are the same degree. The pictures show the result.

LIMIT CYCLE BIFURCATIONS OF A PLANARNEAR-INTEGRABLE SYSTEM WITH TWO SMALL PARAMETERS

In this paper we consider a class of polynomial planar system with two small parameters,ε and λ,satisfying 0<ε《λ《1.The corresponding first order Melnikov function M_(1) with respect to ε depends on λ so that it has an expansion of the form M_(1)(h,λ)=∑k=0∞M_(1k)(h)λ^(k).Assume that M_(1k')(h) is the first non-zero coefficient in the expansion.Then by estimating the number of zeros of M_(1k')(h),we give a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles emerging from the period annulus of the unperturbed system for 0<ε《λ《1,when k'=0 or 1.In addition,for each k∈N,an upper bound of the maximal number of zeros of M_(1k)(h),taking into account their multiplicities,is presented.

Backlash Nonlinear Compensation of Servo Systems Using Backpropagation Neural Networks

Aim To eliminate the influences of backlash nonlinear characteristics generally existing in servo systems, a nonlinear compensation method using backpropagation neural networks(BPNN) is presented. Methods Based on some weapon tracking servo system, a three layer BPNN was used to off line identify the backlash characteristics, then a nonlinear compensator was designed according to the identification results. Results The simulation results show that the method can effectively get rid of the sustained oscillation(limit cycle) of the system caused by the backlash characteristics, and can improve the system accuracy. Conclusion The method is effective on sloving the problems produced by the backlash characteristics in servo systems, and it can be easily accomplished in engineering.

Leaf nitrogen resorption is more important than litter nitrogen mineralization in mediating the diversity–productivity relationship along a nitrogen-limited temperate forest succession chronosequence

The resorption of nutrients by plants before litter fall and the mineralization of nutrients from plant litter by soil processes are both important pathways supporting primary productivity. While the positive relationship between plant biodiversity and primary productivity is widely accepted for natural ecosystems, the roles of nutrient resorption and mineralization in mediating that relationship remains largely unknown. Here, we quantified the relative importance of nitrogen(N) resorption and N mineralization in driving plant community N investment and the correlation between species diversity and community productivity along an N-limited successional chronosequence of the mixed broadleaved–Korean pine(Pinus koraiensis) forest in northeastern China. Leaf N resorption efficiency(NRE) at the community level increased significantly along the successional chronosequence,whereas litter N mineralization rate decreased significantly. Leaf NRE was more important than litter N mineralization rate in driving the diversity–productivity relationship. However, higher leaf NRE led to less N mineralization as succession progressed along the chronosequence. Our results highlight the importance of the N resorption pathway rather than the N mineralization pathway for forest N acquisition with community succession,and they provide mechanistic insights into the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. In future forest management practices, we recommend appropriate application of N fertilizer to mitigate the adverse effects of N-poor soil on seedling regeneration during late succession and thus maintain the sustainable development of temperate forest ecosystems.
