We study bifurcation behavior in periodic perturbations of two-dimensional symmetric systems exhibiting codimension-two bifurcations with a double eigenvalue when the frequencies of the perturbation terms are small. We transform the…
We propose an approach to study small limit cycle bifurcations on a center manifold in analytic or smooth systems depending on parameters. We then apply it to the investigation of limit cycle bifurcations in a model of calcium oscillations…
In this paper, we deal with a classical object, namely, a nonhyperbolic limit cycle in a system of smooth autonomous ordinary differential equations. While the existence of a center manifold near such a cycle was assumed in several studies…
Consider the vector field $x'= -yG(x, y), y'=xG(x, y),$ where the set of critical points $\{G(x, y) = 0\}$ is formed by $K$ straight lines, not passing through the origin and parallel to one or two orthogonal directions. We perturb it with…
This article is a survey on recent contributions to an effective version of Bautin's theory about the bifurcation of periodic orbits (limit cycles). The analysis of Hopf bifurcations of higher order is possible by use of the return mapping.…
There is a sizable literature on investigating the minimum and maximum numbers of cycles in a class of graphs. However, the answer is known only for special classes. This paper presents a result on the smallest number of cycles in…
Let $\Pi$ be an open, relatively compact period annulus of real analytic vector field $X_0$ on an analytic surface. We prove that the maximal number of limit cycles which bifurcate from $\Pi$ under a given multi-parameter analytic…
This paper presents new results on the limit cycles of a Li\'enard system with symmetry allowing for discontinuity. Our results generalize and improve the results in [33,34]. The results in [34] are only valid for the smooth system. We…
In this paper, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles in Lienard systems of the form dot(x)=y-F(x), dot(y)=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial that contains, in general, several free parameters. By using a method introduced in a previous…
Controllability properties are studied for control-affine systems depending on a parameter and with constrained control values. The uncontrolled systems in dimension two and three are subject to a homoclinic bifurcation. This generates two…
We show that, for planar point sets, the number of non-crossing Hamiltonian paths is polynomially bounded in the number of non-crossing paths, and the number of non-crossing Hamiltonian cycles (polygonalizations) is polynomially bounded in…
This paper deals with the problem of location and existence of limit cycles for real planar polynomial differential systems. We provide a method to construct Poincar\'e--Bendixson regions by using transversal curves, that enables us to…
We prove that the number of limit cycles generated by a small non-conservative perturbation of a Hamiltonian polynomial vector field on the plane, is bounded by a double exponential of the degree of the fields. This solves the long-standing…
We consider a system of the form x'=P_n(x,y)+xR_m(x,y), y'=Q_n(x,y)+yR_m(x,y), where P_n(x,y), Q_n(x,y) and R_m(x,y) are homogeneous polynomials of degrees n, n and m, respectively, with n<=m. We prove that this system has at most one limit…

In this paper, we construct two classes of planar polynomial Hamiltonian systems having a center at the origin, and obtain the lower bounds for the number of critical periods for these systems. For polynomial potential systems of degree…
