具有一个细焦点和一个粗焦点的二次系统极限环的个数

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).

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).     

Cyclicity of a simple focus via the vanishing multiplicity of inverse integrating factors

First we provide new properties about the vanishing multiplicity of the inverse integrating factor of a planar analytic differential system at a focus. After we use this vanishing multiplicity for studying the cyclicity of foci with pure imaginary eigenvalues and with homogeneous nonlinearities of arbitrary degree having either its radial or angular speed independent of the angle variable in polar coordinates. After we study the cyclicity of a class of nilpotent foci in their analytic normal form.

Using activity focus networks to pressure terrorist organizations

The predominant idea for using network concepts to fight terrorists centers on disabling key parts of their communication networks. Although this counternetwork strategy is clearly a sound approach, it is vulnerable to missing, incomplete, or erroneous information about the network. This paper describes a different and complementary application of network concepts to terrorist organizations. It is based on activity focus networks (AFNs), which represent the complex activity system of an organization. An activity focus is a conceptual or physical entity around which joint activity is organized. Any organization has a number of these, which are in some cases compatible and in some cases incompatible. The set of foci and their relations of compatibility and incompatibility define the AFN. A hypothetical AFN for a terrorist organization is specified and tested in a simulation called AQAS. It shows that certain activity foci, and in particular one combination, have high potential as pressure points for the activity system. The AFN approach complements the counternetwork approach by reducing the downside risk of incomplete information about the communication network, and enhancing the effectiveness of counternetwork approaches over time.

Hopf Cyclicity of a Family of Generic Reversible Quadratic Systems with One Center

This paper is concerned with small quadratic perturbations to one parameter family of generic reversible quadratic vector fields with a simple center. The first objective is to show that this system exhibits two small amplitude limit cycles emerging from a Hopf bifurcation. The second one we prove that the system has no limit cycle around the weak focus of order two. The results may be viewed as a contribution to proving the conjecture on cyclicity proposed by Iliev (1998).     

Ten limit cycles around a center-type singular point in a 3-d quadratic system with quadratic perturbation

In this paper, we show that perturbing a simple 3-d quadratic system with a center-type singular point can yield at least 10 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point. This result improves the 7 limit cycles obtained recently in a simple 3-d quadratic system around a Hopf singular point. Compared with Bautin’s result for quadratic planar vector fields, which can only have 3 small-amplitude limit cycles around an elementary center or focus, this result of 10 limit cycles is surprisingly high. The theory and methodology developed in this paper can be used to consider bifurcation of limit cycles in higher-dimensional systems.

Dulac-Cherkas function in a neighborhood of a structurally unstable focus of an autonomous polynomial system on the plane

We consider the problem of estimating the number of limit cycles and their localization for an autonomous polynomial system on the plane with fixed real coefficients and with a small parameter. At the origin, the system has a structurally unstable focus whose first Lyapunov focal quantity is nonzero for the zero value of the parameter. We develop an algebraic method for constructing a Dulac-Cherkas function in a neighborhood of this focus in the form of a polynomial of degree 4. The method is based on the construction of an auxiliary positive polynomial containing terms of order ≥ 4 in the phase variables. The coefficients of these terms are found from a linear algebraic system obtained by equating the coefficients of the corresponding auxiliary function with zero. We present examples in which the suggested method permits one to find parameter intervals and the corresponding neighborhoods of the focus in each of which the number of limit cycles remains constant for all parameter values in the respective interval.

Twelve limit cycles around a singular point in a planar cubic-degree polynomial system

In this paper, we prove the existence of 12 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point in a planar cubic-degree polynomial system. Based on two previously developed cubic systems in the literature, which have been proved to exhibit 11 small-amplitude limit cycles, we applied a different method to show 11 limit cycles. Moreover, we show that one of the systems can actually have 12 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point. This is the best result so far obtained in cubic planar vector fields around a singular point.     

LIMIT CYCLES AND BIFURCATION CURVES FOR THE QUADRATIC DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM （Ⅲ）m=0 HAVING THREE ANTI-SADDLES （Ⅱ）

As a continuation of [1], the author studies the limit cycle bifurcation around the focus S1 other than O(0, 0) for the system (1) as δ varies. A conjecture on the non-existence of limit cycles around S1, and another one on the non-coexistence of limit cycles wound both O and S1 are given, together with some numerical examples.     

BIFURCATION THEORY OF QUADRATIC DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS

This paper deals with the number of limit cycles and bifurcation problem of quadratic differential systems. Under conditions $a<0,b+2l>0,l+1<0$, the author draws three bifurcation diagrams of the system (1.18) below in the (\delta,m) plane, which show that the maximum number of limit cycles around a focus is two in this case.     

Limit cycles of a predator-prey model with intratrophic predation

We present some properties of a differential system that can be used to model intratrophic predation in simple predator-prey models. In particular, for the model we determine the maximum number of limit cycles that can exist around the only fine focus in the first quadrant and show that this critical point cannot be a centre.     

A kind of bifurcation of limit cycle from a nilpotent critical point

In this paper, an interesting and new bifurcation phenomenon that limit cycles could be bifurcated from nilpotent node (focus) by changing its stability is investigated. It is different from lowing its multiplicity in order to get limit cycles. We prove that $n^2+n-1$ limit cycles could be bifurcated by this way for $2n+1$ degree systems. Moreover, this upper bound could be reached. At last, we give two examples to show that $N(3)=1$ and $N(5)=5$ respectively. Here, $N(n)$ denotes the number of small-amplitude limit cycles around a nilpotent node (focus) with $n$ being the degree of polynomials in the vector field.
