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.

From [Han et al., 2009a] we know that the highest order of the nilpotent center of cubic Hamiltonian system is [Formula: see text]. In this paper, perturbing the Hamiltonian system which has a nilpotent center of order [Formula: see text] at the origin by cubic polynomials, we study the number of limit cycles of the corresponding cubic near-Hamiltonian systems near the origin. We prove that we can find seven and at most seven limit cycles near the origin by the first-order Melnikov function.

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.

As we know, Hopf bifurcation is an important part of bifurcation theory of dynamical systems. Almost all known works are concerned with the bifurcation and number of limit cycles near a nondegenerate focus or center. In the present paper, we study a general near-Hamiltonian system on the plane whose unperturbed system has a nilpotent center. We obtain an expansion for the first order Melnikov function near the center together with a computing method for the first coefficients. Using these coefficients, we obtain a new bifurcation theorem concerning the limit cycle bifurcation near the nilpotent center. An interesting application example & a cubic system having five limit cycles & is also presented.

In this paper, the asymptotic expansion of first-order Melnikov function of a heteroclinic loop connecting a cusp of order two and a hyperbolic saddle for a planar near-Hamiltonian system is given. Next, we consider the limit cycle bifurcations of a hyper-elliptic Liénard system with this kind of heteroclinic loop and study the least upper bound of limit cycles bifurcated from the period annulus inside the heteroclinic loop, from the heteroclinic loop itself and the center. We find that at most three limit cycles can be bifurcated from the period annulus, also we present different distributions of bifurcated limit cycles.

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 is concerned with the expansion of the first-order Melnikov function for general Hamiltonian systems with a cuspidal loop having order m. Some criteria and formulas are derived, which can be used to obtain first-order coefficients in the expansion. In particular, we deduce the first-order coefficients for the case m = 3 and give the corresponding conditions of existing several limit cycles. As an application, we study a Liénard system of type (n, 9) and prove that it can have 14 limit cycles near a cuspidal loop of order 3 for n = 8.

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.

Nilpotent Critical Point

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.
