Coexistence of small and large amplitude limit cycles of polynomial differential systems of degree four

A class of degree four differential systems that have an invariant conic x ² + Cy ² = 1, C ∈ ℝ, is examined. We show the coexistence of small amplitude limit cycles, large amplitude limit cycles, and invariant algebraic curves under perturbations of the coefficients of the systems.     

Bifurcation of small limit cycles in cubic integrable systems using higher-order analysis

In this paper, we present a method of higher-order analysis on bifurcation of small limit cycles around an elementary center of integrable systems under perturbations. This method is equivalent to higher-order Melinikov function approach used for studying bifurcation of limit cycles around a center but simpler. Attention is focused on planar cubic polynomial systems and particularly it is shown that the system studied by ?o?a?dek (1995) [24] can indeed have eleven limit cycles under perturbations at least up to 7th order. Moreover, the pattern of numbers of limit cycles produced near the center is discussed up to 39th-order perturbations, and no more than eleven limit cycles are found.

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).

The number of limit cycles bifurcating from the periodic orbits of an isochronous center

This paper concerns the bifurcation of limit cycles for a quartic system with an isochronous center. By using the averaging theory, it shows that under any small quintic homogeneous perturbations, at most 14 limit cycles birfucate from the period annulus of the considered system.     

The number of limit cycles of cubic Hamiltonian system with perturbation

In this paper, by using qualitative analysis, we investigate the number of limit cycles of perturbed cubic Hamiltonian system with perturbation in the form of (2n+2m) or (2n+2m+1)th degree polynomials . We show that the perturbed systems has at most (n+m) limit cycles, and has at most n limit cycles if m=1. If m=1, n=1 and m=1, n=2, the general conditions for the number of existing limit cycles and the stability of the limit cycles will be established, respectively. Such conditions depend on the coefficients of the perturbed terms. In order to illustrate our results, two numerical examples on the location and stability of the limit cycles are given.     

On the number of limit cycles of a Z4-equivariant quintic polynomial system

In this paper we study the number of limit cycles of a near-Hamiltonian system under Z₄-equivariant quintic perturbations. Using the methods of Hopf and heteroclinic bifurcation theory, we found that the perturbed system can have 13 limit cycles.     

The cyclicity of the period annulus of the cubic isochronous center

This paper is concerned with limit cycles which bifurcate from periodic orbits of the cubic isochronous center. It is proved that in this situation, the cyclicity of the period annulus under cubic perturbations is equal to four. Moreover, for each k?=?0,1, . . .,4, there are perturbations that give rise to exactly k limit cycles bifurcating from the period annulus.     

Complete study on a bi-center problem for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>-equivariant cubic vector fields

For the planar Z ₂-equivariant cubic systems having two elementary focuses, the characterization of a bi-center problem and shortened expressions of the first six Liapunov constants are completely discussed. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the bi-center are obtained. All possible first integrals are given. Under small Z ₂-equivariant cubic perturbations, the conclusion that there exist at most 12 small-amplitude limit cycles with the scheme 〈6 ∐ 6〉 is proved.     

Linear estimate of the number of limit cycles for a class of non-linear systems

A dynamic system has a finite number of limit cycles. However, finding the upper bound of the number of limit cycles is an open problem for general non-linear dynamical systems. In this paper, we investigated a class of non-linear systems under perturbations. We proved that the upper bound of the number of zeros of the related elliptic integrals of the given system is 7n + 5 including multiple zeros, which also gives the upper bound of the number of limit cycles for the given system.

Admissibility and Observability of Observation Operators for Semilinear Problems

This paper deals with semilinear evolution equations with unbounded observation operators. Sufficient conditions are given guaranteeing that the output function of a semilinear system is in L²_loc([0, ∞); Y). We prove that the Lebesgue extension of the observation operators are invariant under nonlinear globally Lipschitz continuous perturbations. Further, relations between the corresponding -extensions are studied. We show that exact observability of linear autonomous system is conserved under small Lipschitz perturbations. The obtained results are illustrated by several examples.      

The cyclicity of the period annulus of two classes of cubic isochronous systems

In this paper, we investigate the cyclicity of the period annulus of two classes of cubic isochronous systems.By using the Chebyshev criterion, we prove that the two systems have respectively at most three and four limit cycles produced fromthe period annulus around the isochronous center under cubic perturbations.     

On the sensitivity of the LU factorization

This paper gives sensitivity analyses by two approaches forL andU in the factorizationA=LU for general perturbations inA which are sufficiently small in norm. By the matrix-vector equation approach, we derive the condition numbers for theL andU factors. By the matrix equation approach we derive corresponding condition estimates. We show how partial pivoting and complete pivoting affect the sensitivity of the LU factorization. The material presented here is a part of the first author's PhD thesis under the supervision of the second author. This research was supported by NSERC of Canada Grant OGP0009236.     

一类可积非哈密顿系统的极限环个数的上界

In this paper, we consider the perturbations of two non-Hamiltonian integrable systems(1.3)μ, (4.1)μ. For the former,it is proved that the system under the polynomial perturbations hasat most f-n/2] limit cycles in the finite plane and the upper bound is sharp. The proof relies on acareful analysis of a related Abelian integral. For the latter, we obtain an estimate number of isolatedzeros of the corresponding Abelian integral.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles near equivariant compound cycles

In this paper we study some equivariant systems on the plane. We first give some criteria for the outer or inner stability of compound cycles of these systems. Then we investigate the number of limit cycles which appear near a compound cycle of a Hamiltonian equivariant system under equivariant perturbations. In the last part of the paper we present an application of our general theory to show that a Z3 equivariant system can have 13 limit cycles.     

Bifurcation of periodic orbits in a class of planar Filippov systems

In this paper we discuss the perturbations of a general planar Filippov system with exactly one switching line. When the system has a limit cycle, we give a condition for its persistence; when the system has an annulus of periodic orbits, we give a condition under which limit cycles are bifurcated from the annulus. We also further discuss the stability and bifurcations of a nonhyperbolic limit cycle. When the system has an annulus of periodic orbits, we show via an example how the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the annulus is affected by the switching.     

Stability Theory of General Contractions for Delay Equations

We study the persistence of the asymptotic stability of delay equations both under linear and nonlinear perturbations. Namely, we consider nonautonomous linear delay equations v′ = L(t)v _t with a nonuniform exponential contraction. Our main objective is to establish the persistence of the nonuniform exponential stability of the zero solution both under nonautonomous linear perturbations, i.e., for the equation v′ = (L(t) + M(t))v _t , thus discussing the so-called robustness problem, and under a large class of nonlinear perturbations, namely for the equation v′ = L(t)v _t + f(t, v _t ). In addition, we consider general contractions e ^−λρ(t) determined by an increasing function ρ that includes the usual exponential behavior with ρ(t) = t as a very special case. We also obtain corresponding results in the case of discrete time.
