We consider a class of discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with two pieces separated by a plane. In this class we show that there exist differential systems having: a unique limit cycle, a unique…

The cycle set of a graph $G$ is the set consisting of all sizes of cycles in $G$. Answering a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Faudree, Verstra\"{e}te showed that there are at most $2^{n - n^{1/10}}$ different cycle sets of graphs with $n$…

In this paper we consider the limit cycles of the planar system $$\frac{d}{dt}(x,y)=\mathbf X_n+\mathbf X_m, $$ where $\mathbf X_n$ and $\mathbf X_m$ are quasi-homogeneous vector fields of degree $n$ and $m$ respectively. We prove that…

We prove that every heteroclinic saddle loop (a two-saddle cycle) occurring in an analytic finite-parameter family of plane analytic vector fields, may generate no more than a finite number of limit cycles within the family.

We study the maximum number of limit cycles that can bifurcate from a degenerate center of a cubic homogeneous polynomial differential system. Using the averaging method of second order and perturbing inside the class of all cubic…
