In this article we study the existence of limit cycles in families of piecewise smooth differential equations having the unit circle as discontinuity region. We consider families presenting singularities of center or saddle type, visible or invisible, as well as the case without singularities. We establish an upper bound for the number of limit cycles and give examples showing that the maximum number of limit cycles can be reached. We also discuss the existence of homoclinic cycles for such differential equations in the saddle-center case.
In the present paper, we study the number of zeros of the first order Melnikov function for piecewise smooth polynomial differential system, to estimate the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the period annulus of quadratic isochronous centers, when they are perturbed inside the class of all piecewise smooth polynomial differential systems of degree $n$ with the straight line of discontinuity $x=0$. An explicit and fairly accurate upper bound for the number of zeros of the first order Melnikov functions with respect to quadratic isochronous centers $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ is provided. For quadratic isochronous center $S_4$, we give a rough estimate for the number of zeros of the first order Melnikov function due to its complexity. Furthermore, we improve the upper bound associated with $S_4$, from $14n+11$ in cite{LLLZ}, $12n-1$ in cite{SZ} to $[(5n-5)/2]$, when it is perturbed inside all smooth polynomial differential systems of degree $n$. Besides, some evidence on the equivalence of the first order Melnikov function and the first order Averaged function for piecewise smooth polynomial differential systems is found.
In this paper, we study the bifurcate of limit cycles for Bogdanov-Takens system($dot{x}=y$, $dot{y}=-x+x^{2}$) under perturbations of piecewise smooth polynomials of degree $2$ and $n$ respectively. We bound the number of zeros of first order Melnikov function which controls the number of limit cycles bifurcating from the center. It is proved that the upper bounds of the number of limit cycles with switching curve $x=y^{2m}$($m$ is a positive integral) are $(39m+36)n+77m+21(mgeq 2)$ and $50n+52(m=1)$ (taking into account the multiplicity). The upper bounds number of limit cycles with switching lines $x=0$ and $y=0$ are 11 (taking into account the multiplicity) and it can be reached.
In this paper, we extend the slow divergence-integral from slow-fast systems, due to De Maesschalck, Dumortier and Roussarie, to smooth systems that limit onto piecewise smooth ones as $epsilonrightarrow 0$. In slow-fast systems, the slow divergence-integral is an integral of the divergence along a canard cycle with respect to the slow time and it has proven very useful in obtaining good lower and upper bounds of limit cycles in planar polynomial systems. In this paper, our slow divergence-integral is based upon integration along a generalized canard cycle for a piecewise smooth two-fold bifurcation (of type visible-invisible called $VI_3$). We use this framework to show that the number of limit cycles in regularized piecewise smooth polynomial systems is unbounded.
By applying a singular perturbation approach, canard limit cycles exhibited by a general family of singularly perturbed planar piecewise linear (PWL) differential systems are analyzed. The performed study involves both hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic canard limit cycles appearing after both a supercritical and a subcritical Hopf bifurcation. The obtained results are completely comparable with those obtained for smooth vector fields. In some sense, the manuscript can be understood as an extension towards the PWL framework of the results obtained for smooth systems by Krupa and Szmolyan [18]. In addition, some novel slow-fast behaviors are obtained. In particular, in the supercritical case, and under suitable conditions, it is proved that the limit cycles are organized along a curve exhibiting two folds. Each of these folds corresponds to a saddle-node bifurcation of canard limit cycles, one involving headless canard cycles, whereas the other involving canard cycles with head. This configuration allows the coexistence of three canard limit cycles.
We investigate the validity and accuracy of weak-noise (saddle-point or instanton) approximations for piecewise-smooth stochastic differential equations (SDEs), taking as an illustrative example a piecewise-constant SDE, which serves as a simple model of Brownian motion with solid friction. For this model, we show that the weak-noise approximation of the path integral correctly reproduces the known propagator of the SDE at lowest order in the noise power, as well as the main features of the exact propagator with higher-order corrections, provided that the singularity of the path integral associated with the non-smooth SDE is treated with some heuristics. We also show that, as in the case of smooth SDEs, the deterministic paths of the noiseless system correctly describe the behaviour of the non-smooth SDE in the low-noise limit. Finally, we consider a smooth regularisation of the piecewise-constant SDE and study to which extent this regularisation can rectify some of the problems encountered when dealing with discontinuous drifts and singularities in SDEs.
