Global analysis of a piecewise linear Liénard-type dynamical system

From MaRDI portal





Consider the system \[ \dot{x}=y-\phi(x), \, \dot{y}=\beta-\alpha x -y,\,\alpha >0,\;\beta > 0, \] where \(\phi\) is a piecewise linear function containing \(k\) segments with negative slopes and \(2k+1\) singular points. By studying all possible bifurcations of the limit cycles, the authors prove that this system has at most \(k+2\) limit cycles, \(k+1\) of which surround the foci one by one and the last limit cycle surrounds all of the singular points.
