Limit cycles under perturbations of a quadratic Hamiltonian system

The perturbed quadratic Hamiltonian system is reduced to a Lienard system with a small parameter for which a Dulac function depending on it is constructed. This permits one to estimate the number of limit cycles of the perturbed system for all sufficiently small parameter values. To find the Dulac function, we use the solution of a linear programming problem. The suggested method is used for studying three specific perturbed systems that have exactly two limit cycles, i.e., the distribution 2 or (0, 2), and one system with distribution (1, 1).     

Limit cycles for a perturbation of a quadratic center with symmetry

To estimate the number of limit cycles appearing under a perturbation of a quadratic system that has a center with symmetry, we use the method of generalized Dulac functions. To this end, we reduce the perturbed system to a Liénard system with a small parameter, for which we construct a Dulac function depending on the parameter. This permits one to estimate the number of limit cycles in the perturbed system for all sufficiently small parameter values. We find the Dulac function by solving a linear programming problem. The suggested method is used to analyze four specific perturbed systems that globally have exactly three limit cycles [i.e., the limit cycle distribution 3 or (3, 0)] and two systems that have the limit cycle distribution (3, 1) (i.e., one nest around each of the two foci).     

A criterion for the existence of four limit cycles in quadratic systems

A method for the asymptotic integration of the trajectories is proposed for the Liénard equation. The results obtained by this method are used to prove the existence of two “large” limit cycles in quadratic systems with a weak focus. The application of standard procedures of small perturbations of the parameters of quadratic systems enables one to find additionally two “small” limit cycles. It is shown that the criterion obtained for the existence of four limit cycles generalizes the well known Shi theorem.     

On the Limit Cycles Bifurcating from a Quadratic Reversible Center of Genus One

The paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in perturbations of a quadratic reversible system with a center of genus one. By studying the properties of the auxiliary curve and centroid curve defined by the Abelian integrals, we have proved that under small quadratic perturbations, at most two limit cycles arise from the period annulus surrounding the quadratic reversible center, and the bound is sharp. This partially verifies Conjecture 1 given in Gautier et al. (Discrete Contin Dyn Syst 25:511–535, 2009).

Abstract. It is proved that the quadratic system with a weak focus and a strong focus has atmost one limit cycle around the strong focus, and as the weak focus is a 2nd -order (or 3rd-order ) weak focus the quadratic system has at most two (one) limit cycles which have (1,1)-distribution ((0,1)-distribution).

Lyapunov quantities and limit cycles of two-dimensional dynamical systems. Analytical methods and symbolic computation

In the present work the methods of computation of Lyapunov quantities and localization of limit cycles are demonstrated. These methods are applied to investigation of quadratic systems with small and large limit cycles. The expressions for the first five Lyapunov quantities for general Lienard system are obtained. By the transformation of quadratic system to Lienard system and the method of asymptotical integration, quadratic systems with large limit cycles are investigated. The domain of parameters of quadratic systems, for which four limit cycles can be obtained, is determined.

Classification of quadratic systems admitting the existence of an algebraic limit cycle

In the paper we find a set of necessary conditions that must be satisfied by a quadratic system in order to have an algebraic limit cycle. We find a countable set of ?5 parameter families of quadratic systems such that every quadratic system with an algebraic limit cycle must, after a change of variables, belong to one of those families. We provide a classification of all the quadratic systems which can have an algebraic limit cycle based on geometrical properties of the embedding of the system in the Poincaré compactification of R². We propose names for all the classes we distinguish and we classify all known examples of quadratic systems with algebraic limit cycle. We also prove the integrability of certain classes of quadratic systems.

Cycles of two-dimensional systems: Computer calculations,proofs, and experiments

One of the central problems in studying small cycles in the neighborhood of equilibrium involves computation of Lyapunov’s quantities. While Lyapunov’s first and second quantities were computed in the general form in the 1940s–1950s, Lyapunov’s third quantity was calculated only for certain special cases. In the present work, we present general formulas for calculation of Lyapunov’s third quantity. Together with the classical Lyapunov method for calculation of Lyapunov’s quantities, which is based on passing to the polar coordinates, we suggest a method developed for the Euclidian coordinates and for the time domain. The calculation of Lyapunov’s quantities by two different analytic methods involving modern software tools for symbolic computing enables us to justify the formulas obtained for Lyapunov’s third quantity. For quadratic systems in which Lyapunov’s first and second quantities vanish, while the third one does not, large cycles were calculated. In the calculations, the quadratic system was reduced to the Liénard equation, which was used to evaluate the domain of parameters corresponding to the existence of four cycles (three “small” cycles and a “large” one). This domain extends the region of parameters obtained by S.L. Shi in 1980 for a quadratic system with four limit cycles.
