Abstract This paper deals with the problem of limit cycles for the whirling pendulum equation ẋ = y, ẏ = sin x(cos x-r) under piecewise smooth perturbations of polynomials of cos x, sin x and y of degree n with the switching line x = 0. The upper bounds of the number of limit cycles in both the oscillatory and the rotary regions are obtained by using the Picard-Fuchs equations which the generating functions of the associated first order Melnikov functions satisfy. Further, the exact bound of a special case is given by using the Chebyshev system.

In the research literature, one can find distinct notions for higher order averaged functions of regularly perturbed non-autonomous T-periodic differential equations of the kind x′=ε F(t,x,ε ). By one hand, the classical (stroboscopic) averaging method provides asymptotic estimates for its solutions in terms of some uniquely defined functions gi's, called averaged functions, which are obtained through near-identity stroboscopic transformations and by solving homological equations. On the other hand, a Melnikov procedure is employed to obtain bifurcation functions fi's which controls in some sense the existence of isolated T-periodic solutions of the differential equation above. In the research literature, the bifurcation functions fi's are sometimes likewise called averaged functions, nevertheless, they also receive the name of Poincaré–Pontryagin–Melnikov functions or just Melnikov functions. While it is known that f1=Tg1, a general relationship between gi and fi is not known so far for i≥ 2. Here, such a general relationship between these two distinct notions of averaged functions is provided, which allows the computation of the stroboscopic averaged functions of any order avoiding the necessity of dealing with near-identity transformations and homological equations. In addition, an Appendix is provided with implemented Mathematica algorithms for computing both higher order averaging functions.

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the number of nontrivial limit cycles for a kind of piecewise trigonometrical smooth generalized Abel equation with the separation line [Formula: see text]. Under the first and second order analyses, we show that the first two order Melnikov functions of the equation share a same structure which can be studied by an ECT-system. Furthermore, let [Formula: see text] be the maximum number of nontrivial limit cycles of the equation bifurcating from the periodic annulus up to [Formula: see text]th order analysis. We prove that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (resp., [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) when [Formula: see text] is even (resp., odd).

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.

A codimension-three Takens–Bogdanov bifurcation in reversible systems has been very recently analyzed in the literature. In this paper, we study with the help of the nonlinear time transformation method, the codimension-one and -two homoclinic and heteroclinic connections present in the corresponding unfolding. The algorithm developed allows to obtain high-order approximations for the global connections, in such a way that it supplies in a very efficient manner the coefficients that would be obtained with high-order Melnikov functions. As we show, all our analytical predictions have excellent agreement with the numerical results. In particular we remark that, for the two different codimension-two points, the theoretical approximation coincides in six decimal digits with the numerical continuation, even being quite far from the codimension-three point. The better approximations we provide in this work will help in the study of reversible systems that exhibit this codimension-three Takens–Bogdanov bifurcation.
