Limit cycles and homoclinic orbits and their bifurcation of Bogdanov-Takens system

A quantitative analysis of limit cycles and homoclinic orbits, and the bifurcation curve for the Bogdanov-Takens system are discussed. The parameter incremental method for approximate analytical-expressions of these problems is given. These analytical-expressions of the limit cycle and homoclinic orbit are shown as the generalized harmonic functions by employing a time transformation. Curves of the parameters and the stability characteristic exponent of the limit cycle versus amplitude are drawn. Some of the limit cycles and homoclinic orbits phase portraits are plotted. The relationship curves of parameters μ and A with amplitude a and the bifurcation diagrams about the parameter are also given. The numerical accuracy of the calculation results is good.

The center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of fifth degree systems are investigated.Two recursive formulas to compute singular quantities at infinity and at the origin are given.The first nine singular point quantities at infinity and first seven singular point quantities at the origin for the system are given in order to get center conditions and study bifurcation of limit cycles.Two fifth degree systems are constructed.One allows the appearance of eight limit cycles in the neighborhood of infinity,which is the first example that a polynomial differential system bifurcates eight limit cycles at infinity.The other perturbs six limit cycles at the origin.

In this article,the authors consider a class of Kukles planar polynomial differential system of degree three having an invariant parabola.For this class of second-order differential systems,it is shown that for certain values of the parameters the invariant parabola coexists with a center.For other values it can coexist with one,two or three small amplitude limit cycles which are constructed by Hopf bifurcation.This result gives an answer for the question given in[4],about the existence of limit cycles for such class of system.

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

In this paper, we have proved several theorems which guarantee that the Lienard equation has at least one or n limit cycles without using the traditional assumption G Thus some results in [3-5] are extended. The limit cycles can be located by our theorems. Theorems 3 and 4 give sufficient conditions for the existence of n limit cycles having no need of the conditions that the function F(x) is odd or 'nth order compatible with each other' or 'nth order contained in each other'.

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.

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.

Center Conditions and Bifurcation of Limit Cycles at Nilpotent Critical Point in a Quintic Lyapunov System

In this paper, center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the nilpotent critical point in a class of quintic polynomial differential system are investigated. With the help of computer algebra system MATHEMATICA, the first 8 quasi Lyapunov constants are deduced. As a result, the necessary and sufficient conditions to have a center are obtained. The fact that there exist 8 small amplitude limit cycles created from the three-order nilpotent critical point is also proved. Henceforth we give a lower bound of cyclicity of three-order nilpotent critical point for quintic Lyapunov systems.
