Degenerate Hopf bifurcations in discontinuous planar systems (Q5927590)

The authors study the stability of a singular point for planar discontinuous differential equations with a line of discontinuities. The problem of stability is treated in generic cases by computing some kind of Lyapunov constants. In this paper, the authors use the so-called \((R, \theta, p, q)\)- generalized polar coordinates and obtain some kind of Lyapunov constants in the discontinuous case. These constants can generate limit cycles for some concrete examples.
