LIMIT CYCLES AND CENTER-FOCUS OF NONLINEAR SYSTEMS

The authors consider the nonhnear systems x=h(y)-F(x),y=-g(x) in which g(x) may be not differentiabte and the system can be nonsymmetric. Some conditions which en-sure that there exists an infinite number of limit cycles are obtained. A problem about center-focus put forward by R. Conti has been answered.     

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.     

One and three limit cycles in a cubic predator–prey system

A cubic differential system is proposed, which can be considered a generalization of the predator–prey models, studied recently by many authors. The properties of the equilibrium points, the existence of a uniqueness limit cycle, and the conditions for three limit cycles are investigated. The criterion is easy to apply in applications.

Computing centre conditions for certain cubic systems

We present necessary and sufficient conditions for a critical point of certain two-dimensional cubic differential systems to be a centre. Extensive use of the computer algebra system REDUCE is involved. The search for necessary and sufficient conditions for a centre has long been of considerable interest in the theory of nonlinear differential equations. It has proved to be a difficult problem, and full conditions are known for very few classes of systems. Such conditions are also required in the investigation of Hilbert's sixteenth problem concerning the number of limit cycles of polynomial systems.

Algebraic limit cycles of degree 4 for quadratic systems

Yablonskii (Differential Equations 2 (1996) 335) and Filipstov (Differential Equations 9 (1973) 983) proved the existence of two different families of algebraic limit cycles of degree 4 in the class of quadratic systems. It was an open problem to know if these two algebraic limit cycles where all the algebraic limit cycles of degree 4 for quadratic systems. Chavarriga (A new example of a quartic algebraic limit cycle for quadratic sytems, Universitat de Lleida, Preprint 1999) found a third family of this kind of algebraic limit cycles. Here, we prove that quadratic systems have exactly four different families of algebraic limit cycles. The proof provides new tools based on the index theory for algebraic solutions of polynomial vector fields.

Limit cycles of piecewise linear dynamical systems with three zones and lateral systems

In this paper, we give some evidences what cause more limit cycles for piecewise dynamical systems. We say, the angles or the number of zones are critical points. We study an example of linear lateral systems and an example of linear Y-shape systems, and prove that they have five and four crossing limit cycles by using Newton-Kantorovich Theorem, respectively.     

Darboux integrability and algebraic limit cycles for a class of polynomial differential systems

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.     

On the existence and uniqueness of limit cycles in planar continuous piecewise linear systems without symmetry

Some techniques to show the existence and uniqueness of limit cycles, typically stated for smooth vector fields, are extended to continuous piecewise-linear differential systems.New results are obtained for systems with three linearity zones without symmetry and having one equilibrium point in the central region. We also revisit the case of systems with only two linear zones giving shorter proofs of known results.A relevant application to the McKean piecewise linear model of a single neuron activity is included.     

Limit cycles of discontinuous piecewise differential systems formed by linear centers in R2 and separated by two circles

We show that discontinuous planar piecewise differential systems formed by linear centers and separated by two concentric circles can have at most three limit cycles. Usually is a difficult problem to provide the exact upper bound that a class of differential systems can exhibit. Here we also provide examples of such systems with zero, one, two, or three limit cycles.     

A uniqueness criterion of limit cycles for planar polynomial systems with homogeneous nonlinearities

This paper is devoted to study the planar polynomial system:

$\dot{x}=ax?y+P_n(x,y),\dot{y}=x+ay+Q_n(x,y),$

where $a\in \mathbb{R}$ and $P_n,Q_n$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $n\ge 2$. Denote $\psi (\theta )=\cos ?(\theta )?Q_n(\cos ?(\theta ),\sin ?(\theta ))?\sin ?(\theta )?P_n(\cos ?(\theta ),\sin ?(\theta ))$. We prove that the system has at most 1 limit cycle surrounding the origin provided $(n?1)a\psi (\theta )+\dot{\psi }(\theta )\ne 0$. Furthermore, this upper bound is sharp. This is maybe the first uniqueness criterion, which only depends on a (linear) condition of ψ, for the limit cycles of this kind of systems. We show by examples that in many cases, the criterion is applicable while the classical ones are invalid. The tool that we mainly use is a new estimate for the number of limit cycles of Abel equation with coefficients of indefinite signs. Employing this tool, we also obtain another geometric criterion which allows the system to possess at most 2 limit cycles surrounding the origin.     

Theory of center-focus for a class of higher-degree critical points and infinite points

For the real planar autonomous differential system, the questions of detection between center and focus, successor function, formal series, central integration, integration factor, focal values, values of singular point and bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of higher-degree critical points and infinite points are expounded.     

Center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at three-order nilpotent critical point in a cubic Lyapunov system

In the present paper, for the three-order nilpotent critical point of a cubic Lyapunov system, the center problem and bifurcation of limit cycles are investigated. With the help of computer algebra system-MATHEMATICA, the first 7 quasi-Lyapunov constants are deduced. As a result, sufficient and necessary conditions in order to have a center are obtained. The fact of there exist 7 small amplitude limit cycles created from the three-order nilpotent critical point is also proved. Henceforth we give a lower bound of cyclicity of three-order nilpotent critical point for cubic Lyapunov systems.     

Limit cycles and invariant parabola in a kukles system of degree three

In this article,the authors consider a class of Kukles planar polynomial differential system of degree three having an invariant parabola.For this class of second-order differential systems,it is shown that for certain values of the parameters the invariant parabola coexists with a center.For other values it can coexist with one,two or three small amplitude limit cycles which are constructed by Hopf bifurcation.This result gives an answer for the question given in[4],about the existence of limit cycles for such class of system.     

Elimination of limit cycles in a class of digital filters using single saturation nonlinearity

Using Lyapunov's direct method, a novel frequency-domain criterion for the elimination of limit cycles in a class of digital filters using single saturation nonlinearity is derived. The criterion turns out to be a generalization and improvement over an earlier criterion due to Kar and Singh. An example showing the effectiveness of the criterion is given. A graphical interpretation of a simplified version (involving one free parameter) of the criterion is discussed.
