CENTER CONDITIONS AND BIFURCATION OF LIMIT CYCLES FOR A CLASS OF FIFTH DEGREE SYSTEMS

The center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of fifth degree systems are investigated. Two recursive formulas to compute singular quantities at infinity and at the origin are given. The first nine singular point quantities at infinity and first seven singular point quantities at the origin for the system are given in order to get center conditions and study bifurcation of limit cycles. Two fifth degree systems are constructed. One allows the appearance of eight limit cycles in the neighborhood of infinity,which is the first example that a polynomial differential system bifurcates eight limit cycles at infinity. The other perturbs six limit cycles at the origin.     

Bi-center Problem in a Class of Z2-equivariant Quintic Vector Fields

In this paper, we study the center problem for Z2-equivariant quintic vector ?elds. First of all, for convenience in analysis, the system is simpli?ed by using some transformations. When the system has two nilpotent points at (0,±1) with multiplicity three, the ?rst seven Lyapunov constants at the singular points are calculated by applying the inverse integrating factor method. Then, ?fteen center conditions are obtained for the two nilpotent singular points of the system to be centers, and the su?ciency of the ?rst seven center conditions are proved. Finally, the ?rst ?ve Lyapunov constants are calculated at the two nilpotent points (0,±1) with multiplicity ?ve by using the method of normal forms, and the center problem of this system is partially solved.     

Center, limit cycles and isochronous center of a Z 4-equivariant quintic system

In this paper, we study the limit cycles bifurcations of four fine focuses in Z4-equivariant vector fields and the problems that its four singular points can be centers and isochronous centers at the same time. By computing the Liapunov constants and periodic constants carefully, we show that for a certain Z4-equivariant quintic systems, there are four fine focuses of five order and five limit cycles can bifurcate from each, we also find conditions of center and isochronous center for this system. The process of proof is algebraic and symbolic by using common computer algebra soft such as Mathematica, the expressions after being simplified in this paper are simple relatively. Moreover, what is worth mentioning is that the result of 20 small limit cycles bifurcating from several fine focuses is good for Z4-equivariant quintic system and the results where multiple singular points become isochronous centers at the same time are less in published references.     

LIMIT CYCLES BIFURCATION FOR A CLASS OF DEGENERATE SINGULARITY

In this paper, bifurcation of limit cycles for the degenerate equilibrium to a three- dimensional system is investigated. Firstly, we use formal series to calculate the focal values at the high-order critical point on center manifold. Then an example is studied, and the existence of 3 limit cycles on the center manifold is proved. In terms of high- order singularities in high-dimensional systems, our results are new.     

Bifurcations of limit cycles in a perturbed quintic Hamiltonian system with six double homoclinic loops

This paper concerns with the number and distributions of limit cycles of a quintic subject to a seven-degree perturbation. With the aid of numeric integral computation provided by Mathematica 4.1, at least 45 limit cycles are found in the above system by applying the method of double homoclinic loops bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and qualitative analysis. The four configurations of 45 limit cycles of the system are also shown. The results obtained are useful to the study of the weakened 16th Hilbert Problem.     

LIMIT CYCLES FOR A CLASS OF NONPOLYNOMIAL PLANAR VECTOR FIELDS(II)

In this paper, the problem of limit cycles for a class of nonpolynomial planar vector felds is investigated. First, based on Liapunov method theory, we obtain some sufcient conditions for determining the origin as the critical point of such nonpolynomial planar vector felds to be the focus or center. Then, using Dulac criterion, we establish some sufcient conditions for the nonexistence of limit cycles of this nonpolynomial planar vector felds. And then, according to Hopf bifurcation theory, we analyze some sufcient conditions for bifurcating limit cycles from the origin. Finally, by transforming the nonpolynomial planar vector felds into the generalized Li′enard planar vector felds, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and stability of limit cycles for the former and latter planar vector felds. Some examples are also given to illustrate the efectiveness of our theoretical results.

Bifurcation of limit cycles in small perturbations of a hyper-elliptic Hamiltonian system with two nilpotent saddles

In this paper we study the first-order Melnikov function for a planar near-Hamiltonian system near a heteroclinic loop connecting two nilpotent saddles. The asymptotic expansion of this Melnikov function and formulas for the first seven coefficients are given. Next, we consider the bifurcation of limit cycles in a class of hyper-elliptic Hamiltonian systems which has a heteroclinic loop connecting two nilpotent saddles. It is shown that this system can undergo a degenerate Hopf bifurcation and Poincarè bifurcation, which emerges at most four limit cycles in the plane for sufficiently small positive ε. The number of limit cycles which appear near the heteroclinic loop is discussed by using the asymptotic expansion of the first-order Melnikov function. Further more we give all possible distribution of limit cycles bifurcated from the period annulus.

Center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at degenerate singular points in a quintic polynomial differential system

The center problem and bifurcation of limit cycles for degenerate singular points are far to be solved in general. In this paper, we study center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the degenerate singular point in a class of quintic polynomial vector field with a small parameter and eight normal parameters. We deduce a recursion formula for singular point quantities at the degenerate singular points in this system and reach with relative ease an expression of the first five quantities at the degenerate singular point. The center conditions for the degenerate singular point of this system are derived. Consequently, we construct a quintic system, which can bifurcates 5 limit cycles in the neighborhood of the degenerate singular point. The positions of these limit cycles can be pointed out exactly without constructing Poincaré cycle fields. The technique employed in this work is essentially different from more usual ones. The recursion formula we present in this paper for the calculation of singular point quantities at degenerate singular point is linear and then avoids complex integrating operations.
