In this paper we extend three results about polycycles (also known as graphs) of planar smooth vector field to planar non-smooth vector fields (also known as piecewise vector fields, or Filippov systems). The polycycles considered here may…
In this work, our primary goal is to study the Poincare map and the existence of limit cycles for Welander's model that describes ocean convection. Welander developed two versions of his model, one with a smooth transition between…

We solve the center-focus problem in a class of piecewise quadratic polynomial differential systems with an invariant straight line. The separation curve is also a straight line which is not invariant. We provide families having at the…

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…
In a recent work it was suggested that the number of limit cycles in a piecewise-linear system could be closely related to the number of zones, that is the number of parts of the phase plane where the system is linear. In this note we…
We study the existence of periodic solutions in a class of planar Filippov systems obtained from non-autonomous periodic perturbations of reversible piecewise smooth differential systems. It is assumed that the unperturbed system presents a…
The folded node is a singularity associated with loss of normal hyperbolicity in systems where mixtures of slow and fast timescales arise due to singular perturbations. Canards are special solutions that reveal a counteractive feature of…
We propose sufficient conditions for existence of topologically stable periodic canard solutions in non-smooth slow-fast systems.
The main objective of this work is to develop, via Brower degree theory and regularization theory, a variation of the classical averaging method for detecting limit cycles of certain piecewise continuous dynamical systems. In fact, overall…
We formulate and study analytically and computationally two families of piecewise linear degree one circle maps. These families offer the rare advantage of being non-trivial but essentially solvable models for the phenomenon of mode-locking…
In this document, we deal with the stabilization problem of slow-fast systems (or singularly perturbed Ordinary Differential Equations) at a non-hyperbolic point. The class of systems studied here have the following properties: 1) they have…

The cyclicity problem, crucial in analyzing planar vector fields, consists in estimating the number of limit cycles emanating from monodromic singularities. Traditionally, this estimation relies on Lyapunov coefficients. However, in…
