We study the maximal number of limit cycles of piecewise linear near-Hamiltonian systems, whose unperturbed system has two saddles. Using the method developed in [Xiong, 2015], we prove that two limit cycles can be bifurcated from the periodic orbits.

In this paper, we study the existence of limit cycles of planar piecewise linear Hamiltonian systems without equilibrium points. Firstly, we prove that if these systems are separated by a parabola, they can have at most two crossing limit cycles, and if they are separated by a hyperbola or an ellipse, they can have at most three crossing limit cycles. Additionally, we prove that these upper bounds are reached. Secondly, we show that there is an example of two crossing limit cycles when these systems have four zones separated by three straight lines.

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.

We study the existence of limit cycles in planar piecewise linear Hamiltonian systems with three zones without equilibrium points. In this scenario, we have shown that such systems have at most one crossing limit cycle.

Due to their applications to many physical phenomena during these last decades the interest for studying the discontinuous piecewise differential systems has increased strongly. The limit cycles play a main role in the study of any planar differential system, but to determine the maximum number of limits cycles that a class of planar differential systems can have is one of the main problems in the qualitative theory of the planar differential systems. Thus in general to provide a sharp upper bound for the number of crossing limit cycles that a given class of piecewise linear differential system can have is a very difficult problem. In this paper we characterize the existence and the number of limit cycles for the piecewise linear differential systems formed by linear Hamiltonian systems without equilibria and separated by a reducible cubic curve, formed either by an ellipse and a straight line, or by a parabola and a straight line parallel to the tangent at the vertex of the parabola. Hence we have solved the extended 16th Hilbert problem to this class of piecewise differential systems.

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.

We study a class of discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by the straight line x = 0. In x > 0, we have a linear saddle with its equilibrium point living in x > 0, and in x < 0 we have a linear differential center. Let p be the equilibrium point of this linear center, when p lives in x < 0, we say that it is real, and when p lives in x > 0 we say that it is virtual. We assume that this discontinuous piecewise linear differential system formed by the center and the saddle has a center q surrounded by periodic orbits ending in a homoclinic orbit of the saddle, independent if p is real, virtual or p is in x = 0. Note that q = p if p is real or p is in x = 0. We perturb these three classes of systems, according to the position of p, inside the class of all discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by x = 0. Let N be the maximum number of limit cycles which can bifurcate from the periodic solutions of the center q with these perturbations. Our main results show that N = 2 when p is on x = 0, and N ≥ 2 when p is a real or virtual center. Furthermore, when p is a real center we found an example satisfying N ≥ 3.

We study the bifurcation of limit cycles from periodic orbits of a four-dimensional system when the perturbation is piecewise linear with two switching boundaries. Our main result shows that when the parameter is sufficiently small at most, six limit cycles can bifurcate from periodic orbits in a class of asymmetric piecewise linear perturbed systems, and, at most, three limit cycles can bifurcate from periodic orbits in another class of asymmetric piecewise linear perturbed systems. Moreover, there are perturbed systems having six limit cycles. The main technique is the averaging method.

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, the bifurcations of subharmonic orbits for a four-dimensional rectangular thin plate with parametrically and externally excitations is considered for the first time. The formulas of the rectangular thin plate are derived by using the von Karman-type equation, the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the Galerkin’s approach. The unperturbed system is composed of two independent planar Hamiltonian systems such that the unperturbed system has a family of periodic orbits. The problem addressed here is the determination of sufficient conditions for some of the periodic orbits to generate subharmonic orbits after periodic perturbations. Thus, based on periodic transformations and Poincaré map the subharmonic Melnikov method is improved to enable us to analyze directly the non-autonomous nonlinear dynamical system, which is applied to the non-autonomous governing equations of motion for the parametrically and externally excited rectangular thin plate. The results obtained here indicate that subharmonic motions can occur in the rectangular thin plate. The method succeeds in establishing the existence of subharmonics in perturbed Hamiltonian systems as well as in discussing their bifurcations. Numerical simulation is also employed to find the subharmonic motions of the parametrically and externally excited rectangular thin plate.

In this paper we deal with a centrally symmetric quintic near-Hamiltonian system whose unperturbed system is a simple cubic Hamiltonian system having a nilpotent center. We prove that the system can have ten limit cycles by using a homoclinic bifurcation method based on stability-change.
