We show that a planar slow–fast piecewise-linear (PWL) system with three zones admits limit cycles that share a lot of similarity with van der Pol canards, in particular an explosive growth. Using phase-space compactification, we show that these quasi-canard cycles are strongly related to a bifurcation at infinity. Furthermore, we investigate a limiting case in which we show the existence of a continuum of canard homoclinic connections that coexist for a single-parameter value and with amplitude ranging from an order of ε to an order of 1, a phenomenon truly associated with the non-smooth character of this system and which we call super-explosion .

Many natural phenomena can be modeled as discontinuous dynamical systems separated by a nonregular line. The number and distribution of limit cycles in discontinuous linear systems are important topics for research. In this paper, we focus on the limit cycles created by discontinuous planar piecewise linear systems separated by a nonregular line of center–center type, and prove that such systems have at most two limit cycles, which can be reached. Furthermore, the two limit cycles are nested and intersect the separation line at two points or four points, that is, either both intersect the separation line at two points or one intersects the separation line at two points and the other one at four points.

In this paper, a possible degeneration of the focus-center-limit cycle bifurcation for piecewise smooth continuous systems is analyzed. The case of continuous piecewise linear systems with two zones is considered, and the coexistence of two limit cycles for certain values of parameters is justified. Finally, the Chua's circuit is shown to exhibit the analyzed bifurcation. The obtained bifurcation set in the parameter plane is similar to the degenerate Hopf bifurcation for differentiable systems.
