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

Bifurcation of limit cycles from a quadratic reversible center with the unbounded elliptic separatrix

The paper is concerned with the bifurcation of limit cycles in general quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible and non-Hamiltonian system, whose period annulus is bounded by an elliptic separatrix related to a singularity at infinity in the poincar'{e} disk. Attention goes to the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus under perturbations. By using the appropriate Picard...

Bifurcation of Limit Cycles in a Fourth-Order Near-Hamiltonian System

This paper is concerned with bifurcation of limit cycles in a fourth-order near-Hamiltonian system with quartic perturbations. By bifurcation theory, proper perturbations are given to show that the system may have 20, 21 or 23 limit cycles with different distributions. This shows thatH(4) ≥ 20, whereH(n) is the Hilbert number for the second part of Hilbert’s 16th problem. It is well known that ...

Limit Cycles Bifurcating from a Perturbed Quartic Center

We consider the quartic center ẋ = −yf(x, y), ẏ = xf(x, y), with f(x, y) = (x+a)(y+b)(x+c) and abc 6= 0. Here we study the maximum number σ of limit cycles which can bifurcate from the periodic orbits of this quartic center when we perturb it inside the class of polynomial vector fields of degree n, using the averaging theory of first order. We prove that 4[(n− 1)/2] + 4 ≤ σ ≤ 5[(n− 1)/2 + 14, ...
