A simple solution to the Braga-Mello conjecture

Dynamical Systems 2015-04-29 v1

Abstract

Recently Braga and Mello conjectured that for a given natural number n there is a piecewise linear system with two zones in the plane with exactly n limit cycles. In this paper we prove a result from which the conjecture is an immediate consequence. Several explicit examples are given where location and stability of limit cycles are provided.
