For periodic linear control systems with bounded control range, an autonomized system is introduced by adding the phase to the state of the system. Here a unique control set (i.e., a maximal set of approximate controllability) with nonvoid…
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…
Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…
Mixed mode oscillatory (MMO) systems are known to exhibit some generic features such as the reversal of period doubling sequences and crossover to period adding sequences as bifurcation parameters are varied. In addition, they exhibit a…
