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.     

Bifurcations of limit cycles for a cubic Hamiltonian system under quartic perturbations

This paper is concerned with the number of limit cycles of a cubic system with quartic perturbations. Fifteen limit cycles are found and their distributions are studied by using the methods of bifurcation theory and qualitative analysis. It gives rise to the conclusion: H(4)15, where H(n) is the Hilbert number for the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem.     

Wintner-Perko termination principle,parameters rotating a field,and limit-cycle problem

Monotone families of limit cycles and rotated vector fields and limit-cycle problems for quadratic systems are also discussed.Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 7, Suzdal Conference-1, 2003.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with a homoclinic loop

In this paper, we study limit cycle bifurcations for a kind of non-smooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with the center at the origin and a homoclinic loop around the origin. By using the first Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems, we give lower bounds of the maximal number of limit cycles in Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations, and derive an upper bound of the number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the periodic annulus between the center and the homoclinic loop up to the first order in ε$\epsilon$. In the case when the degree of perturbing terms is low, we obtain a precise result on the number of zeros of the first Melnikov function.     

Fourteen limit cycles in a cubic Hamiltonian system with nine-order perturbed term

We study limit cycles of the following system:

with a>c>0, ac>1, 0<1, m,l,λ are real parameters and n is a positive integer. When n=2, J.B. Li and Z.R. Liu [Publ. Math. 35 (1991) 487] showed that the system has 11 limit cycles. When n=6, H.J. Cao, Z.R. Liu and Z.J. Jing [Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 11 (2000) 2293] showed the system has 13 limit cycles. Using the same method of detection function, we first show that the system and others four systems have the same bifurcation diagrams of limit cycle. Then we demonstrate that any one of the five systems has 14 limit cycles for n=8. The positions of the 14 limit cycles are given by numerical exploration.     

The order-interval hypergraph of a finite poset and the König property

We study the hypergraph H(P) whose vertices are the points of a finite poset and whose edges are the maximal intervals in P (i.e. sets of the form I = {{v ε P: p ν q}}, p minimal, q maximal). We mention resp. show that the problems of the determination of the independence number , the point covering number τ, the matching number v and the edge covering number p are NP-complete. For interval orders we describe polynomial algorithms and prove the König property (v = τ) and the dual König property (a = p). Finally we show that the (dual) König property is preserved by product.     

On the Number of Limit Cycles in Small Perturbations of a Piecewise Linear Hamiltonian System with a Heteroclinic Loop

In this paper, the authors consider limit cycle bifurcations for a kind of nonsmooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with a center at the origin and a heteroclinic loop around the origin. When the degree of perturbing polynomial terms is n(n ≥ 1), it is obtained that n limit cycles can appear near the origin and the heteroclinic loop respectively by using the first Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems, and that there are at most n + [(n+1)/2] limit cycles bifurcating from the periodic annulus between the center and the heteroclinic loop up to the first order in ε. Especially, for n = 1, 2, 3 and 4, a precise result on the maximal number of zeros of the first Melnikov function is derived.

Bifurcations of limit cycles from infinity for a class of quintic polynomial system

In this work, we use an indirect method to investigate bifurcations of limit cycles at infinity for a class of quintic polynomial system, in which the problem for bifurcations of limit cycles from infinity be transferred into that from the origin. By the computation of singular point values, the conditions of the origin (correspondingly, infinity) to be the highest degree fine focus are derived. Consequently, we construct a quintic system with a small parameter and eight normal parameters, which can bifurcates 1 to 8 limit cycles from infinity respectively, when let normal parameters be suitable values. The positions of these limit cycles without constructing Poincaré cycle fields can be pointed out exactly.

Bifurcation of limit cycles by perturbing a class of hyper-elliptic Hamiltonian systems of degree five

In this paper, we investigate a class of hyper-elliptic Hamiltonian systems of degree five under the polynomial perturbation of degree m+1$m+1$. First, we study the number of different phase portraits of the unperturbed system when it has a class of family of periodic orbits and prove that the number is 40. Then, we consider the limit cycle bifurcations and obtain some new results on the lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles for these systems.     

On the limit cycles of a quintic planar vector field

This paper concerns the number and distributions of limit cycles in a Z_2-equivariant quintic planar vector field.25 limit cycles are found in this special planar polynomial system and four different configurations of these limit cycles are also given by using the methods of the bifurcation theory and the qualitative analysis of the differential equation.It can be concluded that H(5)≥25=5~2, where H(5)is the Hilbert number for quintic polynomial systems.The results obtained are useful to study the weakened 16th Hilbert problem.     

Analysis on bifurcations of multiple limit cycles for a parametrically and externally excited mechanical system

Research on the bifurcations of the multiple limit cycles for a parametrically and externally excited mechanical system is presented in this paper. The original mechanical system is first transformed to the averaged equation in the Cartesian form, which is in the form of a Z₂-symmetric perturbed polynomial Hamiltonian system of degree 5. Then, using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical system and the method of detection function, the bifurcations of the multiple limit cycles of the system are investigated and the configurations of compound eyes are also obtained.     

Oscillations in some nonlinear economic relationships

In this paper we consider a simple family of nonlinear dynamical systems generated by smooth functions. Some theorems for the existence and the uniqueness of the limit cycles of the systems are presented. If f and g are generating functions with unique limit cycles and xf(x) < xg(x), for all x ≠ 0, then according to the ‘bounding theorem’ proved in the paper, the limit cycle of the system generated by f is bounded by the limit cycle of the system generated by g. This gives us a method to estimate the amplitude of the oscillations also for systems for which we do not know the generating function exactly. As an application we extend the nonlinear business cycle model proposed by Tönu Puu (1989).     

Bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of cubic polynomial system having a nilpotent singular point

In this paper, center conditions and bifurcations of limit cycles for a class of cubic polynomial system in which the origin is a nilpotent singular point are studied. A recursive formula is derived to compute quasi-Lyapunov constant. Using the computer algebra system Mathematica, the first seven quasi-Lyapunov constants of the system are deduced. At the same time, the conditions for the origin to be a center and 7-order fine focus are derived respectively. A cubic polynomial system that bifurcates seven limit cycles enclosing the origin (node) is constructed.
