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.

In this paper, we consider bifurcations of a class of planar piecewise smooth differential systems constituted by a general linear system and a quadratic Hamiltonian system. The linear system has four parameters. When the parameters vary in different regions, the left linear system can have a saddle, a node or a focus. For each case, we provide a completely qualitative analysis of the dynamical behavior for this piecewise smooth system. Our results generalize and improve the results in this direction.

Like for smooth systems, a typical method to produce multiple limit cycles for a given piecewise smooth planar system is via homoclinic bifurcation. Previous works only focused on limit cycles that bifurcate from homoclinic orbits of piecewise-linear systems. In this paper, we consider for the first time the same problem for a class of general nonlinear piecewise smooth systems. By introducing the Dulac map in a small neighborhood of the hyperbolic saddle, we obtain the approximation of the Poincaré map for the nonsmooth homoclinic orbit. Then, we give conditions for the stability of the homoclinic orbit and conditions under which one or two limit cycles bifurcate from it. As an example, we construct a nonlinear piecewise smooth system with two limit cycles that bifurcate from a homoclinic orbit.
