In 2012, Lima and Llibre in [3] have studied a class of planar continuous piecewise linear vector fields with three zones. This class can be separated in four other classes and they proved, using the Poincaré map, that this particular class admits always a unique hyperbolic limit cycle. Here, we extended this study for other classes. We proved that some of them also admit always a unique hyperbolic limit cycle, moreover, we find a class that does not have limit cycles and prove the appearance of two limit cycles with one of these cycles appear by perturbations of a period annulus.
On the limit cycles of a class of piecewise linear differential systems in with two zones
Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, 2011
We study the bifurcation of limit cycles from the periodic orbits of a four-dimensional center in a class of piecewise linear differential systems with two zones. Our main result shows that three is an upper bound for the number of limit cycles that bifurcate from a center, up to first order expansion of the displacement function. Moreover, this upper bound is reached. The main technique used is the averaging method.
Three Limit Cycles in Discontinuous Piecewise Linear Differential Systems with Two Zones
2015
In this paper we study a planar piecewise linear differential system formed by two regions separated by a straight line so that one system has a real unstable focus and the other a virtual stable focus which coincides with the real one. This system was introduced by S.-M. Huan and X.-S. Yang in [8] who numerically showed that it can exhibit 3 limit cycles surrounding the real focus. This is the first example that a non–smooth piecewise linear differential system with two zones can have 3 limit cycles surrounding a unique equilibrium. We provide a rigorous proof of this numerical result.
Two Limit Cycles in Liénard Piecewise Linear Differential Systems
Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2018
Some techniques for studying the existence of limit cycles for smooth differential systems are extended to continuous piecewise-linear differential systems. Rigorous new results are provided on the existence of two limit cycles surrounding the equilibrium point at the origin for systems with three zones separated by two parallel straight lines without symmetry.

In the present study we consider planar piecewise linear vector fields with two zones separated by the straight line x = 0. Our goal is to study the existence of simultaneous crossing and sliding limit cycles for such a class of vector fields. First, we provide a canonical form for these systems assuming that each linear system has center, a real one for y < 0 and a virtual one for y > 0, and such that the real center is a global center. Then, working with a first order piecewise linear perturbation we obtain piecewise linear differential systems with three crossing limit cycles. Second, we see that a sliding cycle can be detected after a second order piecewise linear perturbation. Finally, imposing the existence of a sliding limit cycle we prove that only one adittional crossing limit cycle can appear. Furthermore, we also characterize the stability of the higher amplitude limit cycle and of the infinity. The main techniques used in our proofs are the Melnikov method, the Extended Chebyshev systems with positive accuracy, and the Bendixson transformation.

First, we study the planar continuous piecewise differential systems separated by the straight line [Formula: see text] formed by a linear isochronous center in [Formula: see text] and an isochronous quadratic center in [Formula: see text]. We prove that these piecewise differential systems cannot have crossing periodic orbits, and consequently they do not have crossing limit cycles. Second, we study the crossing periodic orbits and limit cycles of the planar continuous piecewise differential systems separated by the straight line [Formula: see text] having in [Formula: see text] the general quadratic isochronous center [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] after an affine transformation, and in [Formula: see text] an arbitrary quadratic isochronous center. For these kind of continuous piecewise differential systems the maximum number of crossing limit cycles is one, and there are examples having one crossing limit cycles. In short for these families of continuous piecewise diffe...
