We study a class of discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by the straight line x = 0. In x > 0, we have a linear saddle with its equilibrium point living in x > 0, and in x < 0 we have a linear differential center. Let p be the equilibrium point of this linear center, when p lives in x < 0, we say that it is real, and when p lives in x > 0 we say that it is virtual. We assume that this discontinuous piecewise linear differential system formed by the center and the saddle has a center q surrounded by periodic orbits ending in a homoclinic orbit of the saddle, independent if p is real, virtual or p is in x = 0. Note that q = p if p is real or p is in x = 0. We perturb these three classes of systems, according to the position of p, inside the class of all discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by x = 0. Let N be the maximum number of limit cycles which can bifurcate from the periodic solutions of the center q with these perturbations. Our main results show that N = 2 when p is on x = 0, and N ≥ 2 when p is a real or virtual center. Furthermore, when p is a real center we found an example satisfying N ≥ 3.

We study the number of limit cycles of the discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems in ℝ2n with two zones separated by a hyperplane. Our main result shows that at most (8n - 6)n-1 limit cycles can bifurcate up to first-order expansion of the displacement function with respect to a small parameter. For proving this result, we use the averaging theory in a form where the differentiability of the system is not necessary.

We study the bifurcation of limit cycles from the periodic orbits of a two-dimensional (resp. four-dimensional) linear center in ℝn perturbed inside a class of discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems. Our main result shows that at most 1 (resp. 3) limit cycle can bifurcate up to first-order expansion of the displacement function with respect to the small parameter. This upper bound is reached. For proving these results, we use the averaging theory in a form where the differentiability of the system is not needed.

We study a class of planar continuous piecewise linear vector fields with three zones. Using the Poincaré map and some techniques for proving the existence of limit cycles for smooth differential systems, we prove that this class admits at least two limit cycles that appear by perturbations of a period annulus. Moreover, we describe the bifurcation of the limit cycles for this class through two examples of two-parameter families of piecewise linear vector fields with three zones.

In this paper, we investigate the number of crossing limit cycles in a family of planar piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by a nonregular line formed by two rays starting at the origin. By studying the dynamics of each subsystem, a thorough study including the parameteric expressions and main properties of some section maps is performed. Especially, different to the case with a straight separation line, it is proved that each section map can be piecewise with two different pieces and can have at most one inflection point. In addition to this, for the existence of these inflection points, some sufficient and necessary conditions satisfied by the system parameters are obtained. Based on these results, the importance played by these inflection points in increasing the maximum number of limit cycles in such systems is verified by providing a concrete example having five nested limit cycles with two crossing one separation ray and the other three crossing both separation rays. So, the five limit cycles obtained here are different from that obtained in the existing literature, where all the limit cycles cross both separation rays.

Discontinuous Piecewise Linear Systems

In this paper, we consider planar piecewise linear differential systems with a line of discontinuity sharing a linear part. We study not only the number of crossing limit cycles, but also the number of sliding ones, and the coexistence of two configurations of limit cycles. In particular, we proved that both numbers of crossing limit cycles and sliding ones are at most [Formula: see text], but the total number of limit cycles is at most [Formula: see text]. Finally, by complete analysis on the number of limit cycles, we show some bifurcations which exist in generic Filippov systems, revealing also two nongeneric bifurcations.
