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…

We discuss the existence of Hamilton cycles in the random graph $G_{n,p}$ where there are restrictions caused by (i) coloring sequences, (ii) a subset of vertices must occur in a specific order and (iii) there is a bound on the number of…
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…
