Homoclinic bifurcation is a difficult and important topic of bifurcation theory. As we know, a general theory for a homoclinic loop passing through a hyperbolic saddle was established by [Roussarie, 1986]. Then the method of stability-changing to find limit cycles near a double homoclinic loop passing through a hyperbolic saddle was given in [Han & Chen, 2000], and further developed by [Han et al., 2003; Han & Zhu, 2007]. For a homoclinic loop passing through a nilpotent saddle there are essentially two different cases, which we distinguish by cuspidal type and smooth type, respectively. For the cuspidal type a general theory was recently established in [Zang et al., 2008]. In this paper, we consider limit cycle bifurcation near a double homoclinic loop passing through a nilpotent saddle by studying the analytical property of the first order Melnikov functions for general near-Hamiltonian systems and obtain the conditions for the perturbed system to have 8, 10 or 12 limit cycles in a neighborhood of the loop with seven different distributions. In particular, for the homoclinic loop of smooth type, a general theory is obtained as a consequence. We finally consider some polynomial systems and find a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles as an application of our main results.

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.

In this article, we study the limit cycle bifurcation of a Liénard system of type (5,4) with a heteroclinic loop passing through a hyperbolic saddle and a nilpotent saddle. We study the least upper bound of the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the periodic annulus inside the heteroclinic loop by a new algebraic criterion. We also prove at least three limit cycles will bifurcate and six kinds of different distributions of these limit cycles are given. The methods we use and the results we obtain are new.

Limit Cycle Bifurcation

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation problem of limit cycles by perturbing a piecewise Hamiltonian system with a double homoclinic loop. First, the derivative of the first Melnikov function is provided. Then, we use it, together with the analytic method, to derive the asymptotic expansion of the first Melnikov function near the loop. Meanwhile, we present the first coefficients in the expansion, which can be applied to study the limit cycle bifurcation near the loop. We give sufficient conditions for this system to have [Formula: see text] limit cycles in the neighborhood of the loop. As an application, a piecewise polynomial Liénard system is investigated, finding six limit cycles with the help of the obtained method.

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.

We also obtain formulas for the first coefficients appearing in the expansions and then establish a bifurcation theorem on the number of limit cycles. As an application example, we give a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles for a polynomial system of Liénard type.

Limit Cycle Bifurcation

In this paper, we study limit cycle bifurcation near a cuspidal loop for a general near-Hamiltonian system by using expansions of the first order Melnikov functions. We give a method to compute more coefficients of the expansions to find more limit cycles near the cuspidal loop. As an application example, we considered a polynomial near-Hamiltonian system and found 12 limit cycles near the cuspidal loop and the center.
