In 2012, Huan and Yang introduced the first piecewise linear differential system with two zones separated by a straight line having at least three limit cycles, serving as a counterexample to the Han-Zhang conjecture that said that such…
In this paper we consider the limit cycles of the planar system $$\frac{d}{dt}(x,y)=\mathbf X_n+\mathbf X_m, $$ where $\mathbf X_n$ and $\mathbf X_m$ are quasi-homogeneous vector fields of degree $n$ and $m$ respectively. We prove that…

Systems that are not smooth can undergo bifurcations that are forbidden in smooth systems. We review some of the phenomena that can occur for piecewise-smooth, continuous maps and flows when a fixed point or an equilibrium collides with a…
We consider the family of piecewise linear maps $F(x,y)=\left(|x| - y + a, x - |y| + b\right),$ where $(a,b)\in \R^2$. In previous work, we identified a novel phenomenon: certain maps of this class possess one-dimensional invariant sets,…
