In this paper, the general perturbation of piecewise Hamiltonian systems on the plane is considered. When the unperturbed system has a family of periodic orbits, similar to the perturbations of smooth system, an expression of the first order Melnikov function is derived, which can be used to study the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the periodic orbits. As applications, the number of bifurcated limit cycles of several concrete piecewise systems are presented.

In this paper, by using Picard–Fuchs equations and Chebyshev criterion, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles for degenerate quadratic Hamilton systems with polycycles [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] under the perturbations of piecewise smooth polynomials with degree [Formula: see text]. Roughly speaking, for [Formula: see text], a polycycle [Formula: see text] is cyclically ordered collection of [Formula: see text] saddles together with orbits connecting them in specified order. The discontinuity is on the line [Formula: see text]. If the first order Melnikov function is not equal to zero identically, it is proved that the upper bounds of the number of limit cycles bifurcating from each of the period annuli with the boundary [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are respectively [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (taking into account the multiplicity).

In this paper, we study the asymptotic expansion of the first order Melnikov function near a 3-polycycle connecting a cusp (of order one or two) to two hyperbolic saddles for a near-Hamiltonian system in the plane. The formulas for the first coefficients of the expansion are given as well as the method of bifurcation of limit cycles. Then we use the results to study two Hamiltonian systems with this 3-polycycle and determine the number and distribution of limit cycles that can bifurcate from the perturbed systems. Moreover, a sharp upper bound for the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the whole periodic annulus is found when there is a cusp of order one.

This paper concerns limit cycle bifurcations by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system. We first obtain all phase portraits of the unperturbed system having at least one family of periodic orbits. By using the first-order Melnikov function of the piecewise near-Hamiltonian system, we investigate the maximal number of limit cycles that bifurcate from a global center up to first order ofε.

In this paper, we extend the well-known Melnikov method for smooth systems to a class of planar hybrid piecewise-smooth systems, defined in three domains separated by two switching manifolds [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The dynamics in each domain is governed by a smooth system. When an orbit reaches the separation lines, then a reset map describing an impacting rule applies instantaneously before the orbit enters into another domain. We assume that the unperturbed system has a continuum of periodic orbits transversally crossing the separation lines. Then, we wish to study the persistence of the periodic orbits under an autonomous perturbation and the reset map. To achieve this objective, we first choose four appropriate switching sections and build a Poincaré map, after that, we present a displacement function and carry on the Taylor expansion of the displacement function to the first-order in the perturbation parameter [Formula: see text] near [Formula: see text]. We denote the first coefficient in the expansion as the first-order Melnikov function whose zeros provide us the persistence of periodic orbits under perturbation. Finally, we study periodic orbits of a concrete planar hybrid piecewise-smooth system by the obtained Melnikov function.

In this paper, we consider a class of piecewise smooth Liénard systems. We classify the unperturbed system into three types and study the bifurcation of limit cycles under perturbations. By studying the expansions of the first order Melnikov function, we give some new results on the number of limit cycles in homoclinic bifurcations.

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 study Poincaré bifurcation of a class of piecewise polynomial systems, whose unperturbed system has a period annulus together with two invariant lines. The main concerns are the number of zeros of the first order Melnikov function and the estimation of the number of limit cycles which bifurcate from the period annulus under piecewise polynomial perturbations of degree [Formula: see text].

We consider the bifurcation in a class of piecewise polynomial systems with piecewise polynomial perturbations. The corresponding unperturbed system is supposed to possess an elementary or nilpotent critical point. First, we present 17 cases of possible phase portraits and conditions with at least one nonsmooth periodic orbit for the unperturbed system. Then we focus on the two specific cases with two heteroclinic orbits and investigate the number of limit cycles near the loop by means of the first-order Melnikov function, respectively. Finally, we take a quartic piecewise system with quintic piecewise polynomial perturbation as an example and obtain that there can exist ten limit cycles near the heteroclinic loop.

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 the study of the perturbation of Hamiltonian systems, the first order Melnikov functions play an important role. By finding its zeros, we can find limit cycles. By analyzing its analytical property, we can find its zeros. The main purpose of this article is to summarize some methods to find its zeros near a Hamiltonian value corresponding to an elementary center, nilpotent center or a homoclinic or heteroclinic loop with hyperbolic saddles or nilpotent critical points through the asymptotic expansions of the Melnikov function at these values. We present a series of results on the limit cycle bifurcation by using the first coefficients of the asymptotic expansions.
