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.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles from the global center of a class of integrable non-Hamilton systems

In this paper, we consider the bifurcation of limit cycles for system $\dot{x}=-y(x^2+a^2)^m,~\dot{y}=x(x^2+a^2)^m$ under perturbations of polynomials with degree n, where $a\neq0$, $m\in \mathbb{N}$. By using the averaging method of first order, we bound the number of limit cycles that can bifurcate from periodic orbits of the center of the unperturbed system. Particularly, if $m=2, n=5$, the sharp bound is 5.     

Condition for generating limit cycles by bifurcation of the loop of a saddle-point separatrix

In paper [1] (On the stability of a saddle-point separatrix loop and analytical criterion for its bifurcation limit cycles Acta Mathematica Sinica Vol. 28. No. 1, 55–70, Bejing China 1985), we considered the problem of generating limit cycles by the bifurcation of a stable or an unstable loop of a saddle-point separatrix. We gave for the first time a criterion for the stability of the loop as following:L ₀ is stable (unstable) if \(\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {(P'_{0x} + Q'_{0y} )dt< 0(0 > 0)} \) wherex=?(t),y=?(t) then a sufficient condition for the bifurcation which generates limit cycles. This paper generalizes the result of [1] to the case where the loop contains a center or the loop tends to an infinite saddle-point, and removes the restriction that the saddle-point should be an elementary singular point. Applying the results of this paper, the author studies a two-parameter system $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} x = lx^2 + y^2 - y + 5\varepsilon xy \hfill \\ y = (3l + 5)xy + x + \varepsilon x^2 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ The results obtained by the author in this in real field coincides with the results given by Prof. Qin Yuanxun by means of the complex qualitative theory in complex field.     

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.     

The influences of longitudinal surface roughness on sub-critical and super-critical limit cycles of short journal bearings

By applying the stochastic model of rough surfaces by Christensen (1969–1970, 1971)  and  together with the Hopf bifurcation theory by Hassard et al. (1981) [3], the present study is mainly concerned with the influences of longitudinal roughness patterns on the linear stability regions, Hopf bifurcation regions, sub-critical and super-critical limit cycles of short journal bearings. It is found that the longitudinal rough-surface bearings can exhibit Hopf bifurcation behaviors in the vicinity of bifurcation points. For fixed bearing parameter, the effects of longitudinal roughness structures provide an increase in the linear stability region, as well as a reduction in the size of sub-critical and super-critical limit cycles as compared to the smooth-bearing case.     

The Number of Limit Cycles in a Class of Piecewise Polynomial Systems

In this paper, we pay attention to the number of limit cycles for a class of piecewise smooth near-Hamiltonian systems. By using the expression of the first order Melnikov function and some known results about Chebyshev systems, we study upper bound of the number of limit cycles in Hopf bifurcation and Poincar\''{e} bifurcation respectively.     

Poincar{\'e} Bifurcation from an Elliptic Hamiltonian of Degree Four with Two-saddle Cycle

In this paper, we consider Poincar{\''e} bifurcation from an elliptic Hamiltonian of degree four with two-saddle cycle. Based on the Chebyshev criterion, not only one case in the Li{\''e}nard equations of type $(3, 2)$ is discussed again in a different way from the previous ones, but also its two extended cases are investigated, where the perturbations are given respectively by adding $\varepsilon y(d_0 + d_2 v^{2n})\frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}$ with $ n\in \mathbb{N^+}$ and $\varepsilon y(d_0 + d_4 {v^4}+ d_2 v^{2n+4})\frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}$ with $n=-1$ or $ n\in \mathbb{N^+}$, for small $\varepsilon > 0$. For the above cases, we obtain all the sharp upper bound of the number of zeros for Abelian integrals, from which the existence of limit cycles at most via the first-order Melnikov functions is determined. Finally, one example of double limit cycles for the latter case is given.     

The bifurcation of limit cycles in Zn-equivariant vector fields

In this paper, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles from fine focus in Z_n-equivariant vector fields. An approach for investigating bifurcation was obtained. In order to show our work is efficacious, an example on bifurcations behavior is given, namely five order singular points values are given in the seventh degree Z₈-equivariant systems. We discuss their bifurcation behavior of limit cycles, and show that there are eight fine focuses of five order and five small amplitude limit cycles can bifurcate from each. So 40 small amplitude limit cycles can bifurcate from eight fine focuses under a certain condition. In terms of the number of limit cycles for seventh degree Z₈-equivariant systems, our results are good and interesting.     

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 considers the limit cycle bifurcation problem of planar piecewise differential systems with three zones. Some computation formulas studied the problem of limit cycle bifurcations are provided by introducing multiple parameters.

(2017) is discussed and some more limit cycles are found.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles in a quintic Hamiltonian system under a sixth-order perturbation

This paper intends to explore the bifurcation of limit cycles for planar polynomial systems with even number of degrees. To obtain the maximum number of limit cycles, a sixth-order polynomial perturbation is added to a quintic Hamiltonian system, and both local and global bifurcations are considered. By employing the detection function method for global bifurcations of limit cycles and the normal form theory for local degenerate Hopf bifurcations, 31 and 35 limit cycles and their configurations are obtained for different sets of controlled parameters. It is shown that: H(6)  35 = 6² − 1, where H(6) is the Hilbert number for sixth-degree polynomial systems.

Small-amplitude limit cycles of some Liénard-type systems

As we know, the Liénard system and its generalized forms are classical and important models of nonlinear oscillators, and have been widely studied by mathematicians and scientists. The main problem considered by most people is the number of limit cycles. In this paper, we investigate two kinds of Liénard systems and obtain the maximal number (i.e. the least upper bound) of limit cycles appearing in Hopf bifurcations by applying some known bifurcation theorems with technical analysis.
