Bifurcation of limit cycles for a quartic near-Hamiltonian system by perturbing a nilpotent center

Hopf bifurcation which produces oscillations is a very important phenomena in the theory and application of dynamical systems. Almost all works available about Hopf bifurcations are related to a non-degenerate focus or center. For the case of a degenerate focus or center, the study of the bifurcations becomes challenge. In this paper, we consider the bifurcation of limit cycles for a quartic near-Hamiltonian system by perturbing a nilpotent center. We take coefficients as parameters, then we can get six limit cycles.     

A method for characterizing nilpotent centers

To characterize when a nilpotent singular point of an analytic differential system is a center is of particular interest, first for the problem of distinguishing between a focus and a center, and second for studying the bifurcation of limit cycles from it or from its period annulus. We provide necessary conditions for detecting nilpotent centers based on recent developments. Moreover we survey the last results on this problem and illustrate our approach by means of examples.     

The center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the infinity for a cubic polynomial system

In this paper, the problem of center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the infinity for a class of cubic systems are investigated. The method is based on a homeomorphic transformation of the infinity into the origin, the first 21 singular point quantities are obtained by computer algebra system Mathematica, the conditions of the origin to be a center and a 21st order fine focus are derived, respectively. Correspondingly, we construct a cubic system which can bifurcate seven limit cycles from the infinity by a small perturbation of parameters. At the end, we study the isochronous center conditions at the infinity for the cubic system.     

CENTER CONDITIONS AND BIFURCATION OF LIMIT CYCLES FOR A CLASS OF FIFTH DEGREE SYSTEMS

The center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of fifth degree systems are investigated. Two recursive formulas to compute singular quantities at infinity and at the origin are given. The first nine singular point quantities at infinity and first seven singular point quantities at the origin for the system are given in order to get center conditions and study bifurcation of limit cycles. Two fifth degree systems are constructed. One allows the appearance of eight limit cycles in the neighborhood of infinity,which is the first example that a polynomial differential system bifurcates eight limit cycles at infinity. The other perturbs six limit cycles at the origin.     

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.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles at the equator

This paper studies center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles from the equator for a class of polynomial differential system of order seven. By converting real planar system into complex system, we established the relation of focal values of a real system with singular point quantities of its concomitant system, and the recursion formula for the computation of singular point quantities of a complex system at the infinity. Therefore, the first 14 singular point quantities of a complex system at the infinity are deduced by using computer algebra system Mathematica. What’s more, the conditions for the infinity of the real system to be a center or 14 degree fine focus are derived, respectively. A system of order seven that bifurcates 12 limit cycles from the infinity is constructed for the first time.     

The Center Conditions and Hopf Cyclicity for a 3D Lotka-Volterra System

The main objective of this paper is not only to find necessary and The main objective of this paper is not only to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a center on a local center manifold for a three dimensional Lotka-Volterra system, but also to determine the maximum number of limit cycles that can bifurcate from the positive equilibrium as a fine focus. Firstly, the singular point quantities are computed and simplified to obtain necessary conditions for local integrability, and Darboux method is applied to show the sufficiency. Then, the Hopf bifurcation on the center manifold is investigated, from this, the conclusion of at most five small limit cycles generated in the vicinity of the equilibrium is obtained. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case with five possible limit cycles for the cyclicity of 3D Lotka-Volterra systems.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles at the equator for a class of polynomial differential system

In this paper, center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles from the equator for a class of polynomial system of degree seven are studied. The method is based on converting a real system into a complex system. The recursion formula for the computation of singular point quantities of complex system at the infinity, and the relation of singular point quantities of complex system at the infinity with the focal values of its concomitant system at the infinity are given. Using the computer algebra system Mathematica, the first 14 singular point quantities of complex system at the infinity are deduced. At the same time, the conditions for the infinity of a real system to be a center and 14 order fine focus are derived respectively. A system of degree seven that bifurcates 13 limit cycles from the infinity is constructed for the first time.     

A study on Zoladek's example

In this paper, we consider an example of third-order polynomial planar system, proposed by Zoladek who claimed that this example had eleven small-amplitude limit cycles around a center. We use focus value computation to show that for this example there may exist maximal nine small-amplitude limit cycles around the center due to Hopf bifurcation.     

Center problem and bifurcation behavior for a class of quasi analytic systems

Results about the study of nonanalytic systems’ center-focus and bifurcations of limit cycles are hardly seen in published references up till now. In this paper, we investigated the problems of determining center or focus and bifurcations for a class of planar quasi cubic analytic systems. The recursive formula to figure out generalized focal values is given, ulteriorly the conditions for four limit cycles from the origin or the point at infinity are obtained and center problems are considered. What is worth pointing out is that we offer a kind of interesting phenomenon that the exponent parameter λ control the non-analyticity of studied system (3.8) in this paper. In terms of nonanalytic differential systems, our work is new.     

Bifurcation of Limit Cycles and Pseudo-Isochronicity at Degenerate Singular Point in a Septic System

This paper deals with the problems of bifurcation of limit cycles and pseudo-isochronous center conditions at degenerate singular point in a class of septic polynomial differential system. We solve the problems by an indirect method, i.e., we transform the degenerate singular point into an elementary singular point. Then we construct a septic system which allows the appearance of eight limit cycles in the neighborhood of degenerate singular point. Finally, we investigate the pseudo-isochronous center conditions at degenerate singular point for the system. As far as we know, this is the first time that an example of septic system with eight limit cycles bifurcating from degenerate singular point is given, and it is also the first time the pseudo-isochronous center conditions at degenerate singular point in a septic system are discussed.

Center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at degenerate singular points in a quintic polynomial differential system

The center problem and bifurcation of limit cycles for degenerate singular points are far to be solved in general. In this paper, we study center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the degenerate singular point in a class of quintic polynomial vector field with a small parameter and eight normal parameters. We deduce a recursion formula for singular point quantities at the degenerate singular points in this system and reach with relative ease an expression of the first five quantities at the degenerate singular point. The center conditions for the degenerate singular point of this system are derived. Consequently, we construct a quintic system, which can bifurcates 5 limit cycles in the neighborhood of the degenerate singular point. The positions of these limit cycles can be pointed out exactly without constructing Poincaré cycle fields. The technique employed in this work is essentially different from more usual ones. The recursion formula we present in this paper for the calculation of singular point quantities at degenerate singular point is linear and then avoids complex integrating operations.

The center-focus problem and bifurcation of limit cycles in a class of 7th-degree polynomial systems

By computing singular point values, the center conditions are established for a class of 7th-degree planar polynomial systems with 15 parameters. It is proved that such systems can have 13 small-amplitude limit cycles in the neighborhood of the origin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a 7th-degree system having non-homogeneous nonlinearities with thirteen limit cycles bifurcated from a fine focus.     

Dynamics and bifurcation study on an extended Lorenz system

In this paper, we study dynamics and bifurcation of limit cycles in a recently developed new chaotic system, called extended Lorenz system. A complete analysis is provided for the existence of limit cycles bifurcating from Hopf critical points. The system has three equilibrium solutions: a zero one at the origin and two non-zero ones at two symmetric points. It is shown that the system can either have one limit cycle around the origin, or three limit cycles enclosing each of the two symmetric equilibria, giving a total six limit cycles. It is not possible for the system to have limit cycles simultaneously bifurcating from all the three equilibria. Simulations are given to verify the analytical predictions.
