A new result on averaging theory for a class of discontinuous planar differential systems with applications

Altres ajuts: ICREA AcademiaWe develop the averaging theory at any order for computing the periodic solutions of periodic discontinuous piecewise differential system of the form dr/dθ= r'={F+(θ, r, ϵ) if 0≤ θ ≤ α, F-(θ, r, ϵ) if α ≤ θ ≤ 2π, where F±(θ, r, ϵ) = Σk i=1 ϵiF± i (θ, r) + ϵk+1R ± (θ, r, ϵ) with θ ϵ S and r ϵ D, where D is an open interval of ℝ+, and ϵ is a small real parameter. Applying this theory, we provide lower bounds for the maximum number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the origin of quartic polynomial differential systems of the form x = -y+xp(x, y), y = x+yp(x, y), with p(x, y) a polynomial of degree 3 without constant term, when they are perturbed, either inside the class of all continuous quartic polynomial differential systems, or inside the class of all discontinuous piecewise quartic polynomial differential systems with two zones separated by the straight line y = 0

Limit cycles in uniform isochronous centers of discontinuous differential systems with four zones

We apply the averaging theory of first order for discontinuous differential systems to study the bifurcation of limit cycles from the periodic orbits of the uniform isochronous center of the differential systems ẋ = -y+x, y = x + xy, and ẋ = -y + xy, y = x + xy, when they are perturbed inside the class of all discontinuous quadratic and cubic polynomials differential systems with four zones separately by the axes of coordinates, respectively. Using averaging theory of first order the maximum number of limit cycles that we can obtain is twice the maximum number of limit cycles obtained in a previous work for discontinuous quadratic differential systems perturbing the same uniform isochronous quadratic center at origin perturbed with two zones separately by a straight line, and 5 more limit cycles than those achieved in a prior result for discontinuous cubic differential systems with the same uniform isochronous cubic center at the origin perturbed with two zones separately by a straight line. Comparing our results with those obtained perturbing the mentioned centers by the continuous quadratic and cubic differential systems we obtain 8 and 9 more limit cycles respectively

Simultaneous Bifurcation of Limit Cycles and Critical Periods

Altres ajuts: Acord transformatiu CRUE-CSICThe present work introduces the problem of simultaneous bifurcation of limit cycles and critical periods for a system of polynomial differential equations in the plane. The simultaneity concept is defined, as well as the idea of bi-weakness in the return map and the period function. Together with the classical methods, we present an approach which uses the Lie bracket to address the simultaneity in some cases. This approach is used to find the bi-weakness of cubic and quartic Liénard systems, the general quadratic family, and the linear plus cubic homogeneous family. We finish with an illustrative example by solving the problem of simultaneous bifurcation of limit cycles and critical periods for the cubic Liénard family

Linearizability conditions of quasi-cubic systems

In this paper we study the linearizability problem of the two-dimensional complex quasi-cubic system $\dot{z}=z+(zw)^{d}(a_{30}z^{3}+a_{21}z^{2}w+a_{12}zw^2+a_{03}w^{3}),~\dot{w}=-w-(zw)^{d}(b_{30}w^{3}+b_{21}w^{2}z+b_{12}wz^2+b_{03}z^{3})$, where $z, w, a_{ij}, b_{ij}\in \mathbb{C}$ and $d$ is a real number. We find a transformation to change the quasi-cubic system into an equivalent quintic system and then obtain the necessary and sufficient linearizability conditions by the Darboux linearization method or by proving the existence of linearizing transformations
