Limit cycle bifurcations from a quadratic center with two switching lines (Q2301813): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors deal with limit cycle bifurcations for a differential system with two switching lines by using the Picard-Fuchs equation. The detailed expression of the corresponding first order Melnikov function which can be used to get the upper bound of the number of limit cycles is derived. The obtained results indicate that the number of switching lines plays a key role in describing the number of limit cycles bifurcating from a period annulus.
