This paper deals with the limit cycle bifurcations for piecewise smooth Hamiltonian systems. By using the first order Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems given in [Liu & Han, 2010], we give a lower bound and an upper bound of the number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the period annulus between the center and the generalized eye-figure loop up to the first order of Melnikov function.

In this paper, we discuss the bifurcation of periodic orbits in planar piecewise smooth systems with discontinuities on finitely many smooth curves intersecting at the origin. We assume that the unperturbed system has either a limit cycle or a periodic annulus such that the limit cycle or each periodic orbit in the periodic annulus crosses every switching curve transversally multiple times. When the unperturbed system has a limit cycle, we give the conditions for its stability and persistence. When the unperturbed system has a periodic annulus, we obtain the expression of the first order Melnikov function and establish sufficient conditions under which limit cycles can bifurcate from the annulus. As an example, we construct a concrete nonlinear planar piecewise smooth system with three zones with 11 limit cycles bifurcated from the periodic annulus.

Limit Cycle Bifurcation

In this paper, we present two kinds of generalized double homoclinic loops in planar piecewise smooth systems. For their stability a criterion is provided. Under nondegenerate conditions, we prove that for each case there are at most five limit cycles which can be bifurcated from the generalized double homoclinic loop. Especially, we construct two concrete systems to show that the upper bound can be achieved in both cases.

Limit Cycle Bifurcation

In this paper, we study the problem of limit cycle bifurcation in two piecewise polynomial systems of Liénard type with multiple parameters. Based on the developed Melnikov function theory, we obtain the maximum number of limit cycles of these two systems.

In this paper, we deal with limit cycle bifurcations by perturbing a piecewise smooth Hamiltonian system with a generalized homoclinic loop passing through a nonelementary singular point. We first give an expansion of the first Melnikov function corresponding to a period annulus near the generalized homoclinic loop. Then, based on the first coefficients in the expansion we obtain a lower bound for the maximal number of limit cycles bifurcated from the period annulus. As applications, two concrete systems are considered.
