DV UMa is an eclipsing dwarf nova with an orbital period of $sim2.06$ h, which lies just at the bottom edge of the period gap. To detect its orbital period changes we present 12 new mid-eclipse times by using our CCD photometric data and archival data. Combining with the published mid-eclipse times in quiescence, spanning $sim30$ yr, the latest version of the $O-C$ diagram was obtained and analyzed. The best fit to those available eclipse timings shows that the orbital period of DV UMa is undergoing a cyclic oscillation with a period of $17.58(pm0.52)$ yr and an amplitude of $71.1(pm6.7)$ s. The periodic variation most likely arises from the light-travel-time effect via the presence of a circumbinary object because the required energy to drive the Applegate mechanism is too high in this system. The mass of the unseen companion was derived as $M_{3}sin{i}=0.025(pm0.004)M_{odot}$. If the third body is in the orbital plane (i.e. $i=i=82.9^{circ}$) of the eclipsing pair, it would match to a brown dwarf. This hypothetical brown dwarf is orbiting its host star at a separation of $sim8.6$ AU in an eccentric orbit ($e=0.44$).

We present high-speed, three-colour photometry of the faint eclipsing cataclysmic variables XZ Eri and DV UMa. We determine the system parameters through two techniques: first, timings of the eclipse contact phases of the white dwarf and bright-spot
using the derivative of the light curve; and secondly, a parameterized model of the eclipse fitted to the observed light curve by chi-squared minimisation. For both objects, we prefer the latter method, as it is less affected by photon noise and rapid flickering. For XZ Eri we obtain a mass ratio q = 0.1098 +/- 0.0017 and an orbital inclination i = 80.16 +/- 0.09 degrees. For DV UMa we derive figures of q = 0.1506 +/- 0.0009 and i = 84.24 +/- 0.07 degrees. The secondary star in XZ Eri has a very low mass Mr/Msun = 0.0842 +/- 0.0024, placing it close to the upper limit on the mass of a brown dwarf.
We present our new photometry of DV Psc obtained in 2010 and 2011, and new spectroscopic observation on Feb. 14, 2012. During our observations, three flare-like events might be detected firstly in one period on DV Psc. The flare rate of DV Psc is abo
ut 0.017 flares per hour. Using Wilson-Devinney program, we derived the preliminary starspot parameters. Moreover, the magnetic cycle is 9.26(+/-0.78) year analyzed by variabilities of Max.I - Max.II.
We report on time-resolved CCD photometry of four outbursts of a short-period SU UMa-type dwarf nova, V844 Herculis. We successfully determined the mean superhump periods to be 0.05584(64) days, and 0.055883(3) for the 2002 May superoutburst, and the
2006 April-May superoutburst, respectively. During the 2002 October observations, we confirmed that the outburst is a normal outburst, which is the first recorded normal outburst in V844 Her. We also examined superhump period changes during 2002 May and 2006 April-May superoutbursts, both of which showed increasing superhump period over the course of the plateau stage. In order to examine the long-term behavior of V844 Her, we analyzed archival data over the past ten years since the discovery of this binary. Although photometry is not satisfactory in some superoutbursts, we found that V844 Her showed no precursors and rebrightenings. Based on the long-term light curve, we further confirmed V844 Her has shown almost no normal outbursts despite the fact that the supercycle of the system is estimated to be about 300 days. In order to explain the long-term light curves of V844 Her, evaporation in the accretion disk may play a role in the avoidance of several normal outbursts, which does not contradict with the relatively large X-ray luminosity of V844 Her.
We detected four outbursts of V359 Cen (possible nova discovered in 1939) between 1999 and 2002. Time-resolved CCD photometry during two outbursts (1999 and 2002) revealed that V359 Cen is actually a long-period SU UMa-type dwarf nova with a mean sup
erhump period of 0.08092(1) d. We identified its supercycle length as 307-397 d. This secure identification of the superhump period precludes the previously supposed possibility that V359 Cen could be related to a WZ Sge-type system with a long persistence of late superhumps. The outburst characteristics of V359 Cen are, however, rather unusual in its low occurrence of normal outbursts.
EX Dra is a long-period eclipsing dwarf nova with $sim2-3$ mag amplitude outbursts. This star has been monitored photometrically from November, 2009 to March, 2016 and 29 new mid-eclipse times were obtained. By using new data together with the publis
hed data, the best fit to the $O-C$ curve indicate that the orbital period of EX Dra have an upward parabolic change while undergoing double-cyclic variations with the periods of 21.4 and 3.99 years, respectively. The upward parabolic change reveals a long-term increase at a rate of $dot{P}={+7.46}times10^{-11}{s} {s^{-1}}$. The evolutionary theory of cataclysmic variables (CVs) predicts that, as a CV evolves, the orbital period should be decreasing rather than increasing. Secular increase can be explained as the mass transfer between the secondary and primary or may be just an observed part of a longer cyclic change. Most plausible explanation for the double-cyclic variations is a pair of light travel-time effect via the presence of two companions. Their masses are determined to be $M_{A}sini_{A}=29.3(pm0.6) M_{Jup}$ and $M_{B}sini_{B}=50.8(pm0.2) M_{Jup}$. When the two companions are coplanar to the orbital plane of the central eclipsing pair, their masses would match to brown dwarfs.
