An upper bound for the number of Hamiltonian cycles of symmetric diagraphs is established first in this paper, which is tighter than the famous Minc's bound and the Br$\acute{e}$gman's bound. A transformation on graphs is proposed, so that…

We provide an effective uniform upper bond for the number of zeros of the first non-vanishing Melnikov function of a polynomial perturbations of a planar polynomial Hamiltonian vector field. The bound depends on degrees of the field and of…

Lienard systems are very important mathematical models describing oscillatory processes arising in applied sciences. In this paper, we study polynomial Lienard systems of arbitrary degree on the plane, and develop a new method to obtain a…

This work is a continuation of [13]. We study the linear disjointness between higher-order oscillating sequences and nonlinear dynamical systems. Specifically, we prove that any oscillating sequence of order $m=d+k-1$ and any simple…

In this paper, we consider the bifurcation of small-amplitude limit cycles near the origin in perturbed pendulum systems of the form $\dot x= y$, $\dot y=-\sin(x)+\varepsilon Q(x,y)$, where $Q(x,y)$ is a smooth or piecewise smooth…

We study the number of limit cycles that a planar polynomial vector field can have as a function of its number $m$ of monomials. We prove that the number of limit cycles increases at least quadratically with $m$ and we provide good lower…

We give lower bounds in terms of~$n,$ for the number of limit cycles of polynomial vector fields of degree~$n,$ having any prescribed invariant algebraic curve. By applying them when the ovals of this curve are also algebraic limit cycles…

We give an effective method for controlling the maximum number of limit cycles of some planar polynomial systems. It is based on a suitable choice of a Dulac function and the application of the well-known Bendixson-Dulac Criterion for…

In this series of papers, the primary goal is to enumerate Hamiltonian cycles (HC's) on the grid cylinder graphs $P_{m+1}\times C_n$, where $n$ is allowed to grow whilst $m$ is fixed. In Part~I, we studied the so-called non-contractible…

In this paper, we generalize the Poincar\'e-Lyapunov method for systems with linear type centers to study nilpotent centers in switching polynomial systems and use it to investigate the bi-center problem of planar $Z_2$-equivariant cubic…

H\"older estimates and Harnack inequalities are studied for fully nonlinear integro-differential equations under some mild assumptions. We allow the kernels of variable order and critically close to 2.

This paper is devoted to study the limit cycle problem of a cubic reversible system with an isochronous center, when it is perturbed inside a class of polynomials. An upper bound of the number of limit cycles is obtained using the Abelian…

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…

Continuing the investigation for the number of crossing limit cycles of nonsmooth Li\'enard systems in [Nonlinearity 21(2008), 2121-2142] for the case of a unique equilibrium, in this paper we consider the case of any number of equilibria.…

The paper deals with planar polynomial vector fields. We aim to estimate the number of orbital topological equivalence classes for the fields of degree n. An evident obstacle for this is the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem. To…

The restricted version of the Hilbert 16th problem for quadratic vector fields requires an upper estimate of the number of limit cycles through a vector parameter that characterizes the vector fields considered and the limit cycles to be…

In this paper, we are concerned with divergence form, higher-order parabolic systems in a cylindrical domain with a finite number of subdomains. We establish $L_\infty$ and Schauder estimates of solutions when the leading coefficients and…

In the weakened 16th Hilbert's Problem one asks for a bound of the number of limit cycles which appear after a polynomial perturbation of a planar polynomial Hamiltonian vector field. It is known that this number is finite for an individual…

In this paper, an interesting and new bifurcation phenomenon that limit cycles could be bifurcated from nilpotent node (focus) by changing its stability was investigated. It is different from lowing its multiplicity in order to get limit…
