In this paper, we consider the bifurcation problem of limit cycles for a class of piecewise smooth cubic systems separated by the straight line [Formula: see text]. Using the first order Melnikov function, we prove that at least [Formula: see text] limit cycles can bifurcate from an isochronous cubic center at the origin under perturbations of piecewise polynomials of degree [Formula: see text]. Further, the maximum number of limit cycles bifurcating from the center of the unperturbed system is at least [Formula: see text] if the origin is the unique singular point under perturbations.

This paper deals with a kind of piecewise smooth equation which is linear in the dependent variable. We study the problem of lower bounds for the maximum number of limit cycles of such equations using Melnikov functions. First of all, using the first order Melnikov function, we prove that these differential equations have a sharp upper bound for the number of the limit cycles which bifurcate from the periodic orbits and cross the separation straight line. Furthermore, in some cases the maximum number of these limit cycles is three, up to any order analysis. In the end, we apply this result on a kind of piecewise smooth planar system which has a separation curve with [Formula: see text] up to homomorphism.

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 suppose that a planar piecewise Hamiltonian system, with a straight line of separation, has a piecewise generalized homoclinic loop passing through a Saddle-Fold point, and assume that there exists a family of piecewise smooth periodic orbits near the loop. By studying the asymptotic expansion of the first order Melnikov function corresponding to the period annulus, we obtain the formulas of the first six coefficients in the expansion, based on which, we provide a lower bound for the maximal number of limit cycles bifurcated from the period annulus. As applications, two concrete systems are considered. Especially, the first one reveals that a quadratic piecewise Hamiltonian system can have five limit cycles near a generalized homoclinic loop under a quadratic piecewise smooth perturbation. Compared with the smooth case [Horozov & Iliev, 1994; Han et al., 1999], three more limit cycles are found.

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, 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 extend the well-known Melnikov method for smooth systems to a class of periodic perturbed planar hybrid piecewise-smooth systems. In this class, the switching manifold is a straight line which divides the plane into two zones, and the dynamics in each zone is governed by a smooth system. When a trajectory reaches the separation line, then a reset map is applied instantaneously before entering the trajectory in the other zone. We assume that the unperturbed system is a piecewise Hamiltonian system which possesses a piecewise-smooth homoclinic solution transversally crossing the switching manifold. Then, we study the persistence of the homoclinic orbit under a nonautonomous periodic perturbation and the reset map. To achieve this objective, we obtain the Melnikov function to measure the distance of the perturbed stable and unstable manifolds and present the theorem for homoclinic bifurcations for the class of planar hybrid piecewise-smooth systems. Furthermore, we employ the obtained Melnikov function to detect the chaotic boundaries for a concrete planar hybrid piecewise-smooth system.

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.
