The shape of limit cycles for a class of quintic polynomial differential systems

We consider the problem of finding limit cycles for a class of quintic polynomial differential systems and their global shape in the plane. An answer to this problem can be given using the averaging theory. More precisely, we analyze the global shape of the limit cycles which bifurcate from a Hopf bifurcation and periodic orbits of the linear center ẋ = −y, ẏ = x, respectively.     

Some properties of Melnikov functions near a cuspidal loop

In this paper, we consider the first-order Melnikov functions and limit cycle bifurcations of a nearHamiltonian system near a cuspidal loop. By establishing relations between the coefficients in the expansions of the two Melnikov functions, we give a general method to obtain the number of limit cycles near the cuspidal loop. As an application, we consider a kind of Liénard systems and obtain a new estimation on the lower bound of the maximum number of limit cycles.     

LIMIT CYCLE PROBLEM OF QUADRATIC SYSTEM OF TYPE （ Ⅲ ）m=0, （ Ⅲ ）

To continue the discussion in （Ⅰ ） and （ Ⅱ ）,and finish the study of the limit cycle problem for quadratic system （ Ⅲ ）m=0 in this paper. Since there is at most one limit cycle that may be created from critical point O by Hopf bifurcation,the number of limit cycles depends on the different situations of separatrix cycle to be formed around O. If it is a homoclinic cycle passing through saddle S1 on 1 ＋ax-y = 0,which has the same stability with the limit cycle created by Hopf bifurcation,then the uniqueness of limit cycles in such cases can be proved. If it is a homoclinic cycle passing through saddle N on x= 0,which has the different stability from the limit cycle created by Hopf bifurcation,then it will be a case of two limit cycles. For the case when the separatrix cycle is a heteroclinic cycle passing through two saddles at infinity,the discussion of the paper shows that the number of limit cycles will change from one to two depending on the different values of parameters of system.     

LIMIT CYCLES OF THE GENERALIZED POLYNOMIAL LINARD DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS

Using the averaging theory of first and second order we study the maximum number of limit cycles of generalized Linard differential systems{x = y + εh_l~1(x) + ε~2h_l~2(x),y=-x- ε(f_n~1(x)y~(2p+1) + g_m~1(x)) + ∈~2(f_n~2(x)y~(2p+1) + g_m~2(x)),which bifurcate from the periodic orbits of the linear center x = y,y=-x,where ε is a small parameter.The polynomials h_l~1 and h_l~2 have degree l;f_n~1and f_n~2 have degree n;and g_m~1,g_m~2 have degree m.p ∈ N and[·]denotes the integer part function.     

NEW FAMILIES OF CENTERS AND LIMIT CYCLES FOR POLYNOMIAL DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS WITH HOMOGENEOUS NONLINEARITIES

We consider the class of polynomial differential equations x = -y+Pn(x,y), y = x + Qn(x, y), where Pn and Qn are homogeneous polynomials of degree n. Inside this class we identify a new subclass of systems having a center at the origin. We show that this subclass contains at least two subfamilies of isochro-nous centers. By using a method different from the classical ones, we study the limit cycles that bifurcate from the periodic orbits of such centers when we perturb them inside the class of all polynomial differential systems of the above form. In particular, we present a function whose simple zeros correspond to the limit cycles vvhich bifurcate from the periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems.     

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.     

Number and Location of Limit Cycles in a Class of Perturbed Polynomial Systems

In this paper,we investigate the number,location and stability of limit cycles in a class of perturbedpolynomial systems with (2n 1) or (2n 2)-degree by constructing detection function and using qualitativeanalysis.We show that there are at most n limit cycles in the perturbed polynomial system,which is similar tothe result of Perko in [8] by using Melnikov method.For n=2,we establish the general conditions dependingon polynomial's coefficients for the bifurcation,location and stability of limit cycles.The bifurcation parametervalue of limit cycles in [5] is also improved by us.When n=3 the sufficient and necessary conditions for theappearance of 3 limit cycles are given.Two numerical examples for the location and stability of limit cycles areused to demonstrate our theoretical results.

This paper deals with the existence of Darboux first integrals for the planar polynomial differential systems x=x-y+P n+1(x,y)+xF2n(x,y),y=x+y+Q n+1(x,y)+yF2n(x,y),where P i(x,y),Q i(x,y)and F i(x,y)are homogeneous polynomials of degree i.Within this class,we identify some new Darboux integrable systems having either a focus or a center at the origin.For such Darboux integrable systems having degrees 5and 9 we give the explicit expressions of their algebraic limit cycles.For the systems having degrees 3,5,7 and 9and restricted to a certain subclass we present necessary and sufficient conditions for being Darboux integrable.     

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.

A sharp estimate of positive integral points in 6-dimensional polyhedra and a sharp estimate of smooth numbers

Inspired by Durfee Conjecture in singularity theory, Yau formulated the Yau number theoretic conjecture(see Conjecture 1.3) which gives a sharp polynomial upper bound of the number of positive integral points in an n-dimensional(n≥3) polyhedron. It is well known that getting the estimate of integral points in the polyhedron is equivalent to getting the estimate of the de Bruijn function ψ(x, y), which is important and has a number of applications to analytic number theory and cryptography. We prove the Yau number theoretic conjecture for n = 6. As an application, we give a sharper estimate of function ψ(x, y) for 5≤y 17, compared with the result obtained by Ennola.     

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.

We prove that (1) possesses at most one limit cycle and give out the necessary and sufficient conditions of existence and uniqueness of limit cycles.
