In this paper, we study the existence of limit cycles of planar piecewise linear Hamiltonian systems without equilibrium points. Firstly, we prove that if these systems are separated by a parabola, they can have at most two crossing limit cycles, and if they are separated by a hyperbola or an ellipse, they can have at most three crossing limit cycles. Additionally, we prove that these upper bounds are reached. Secondly, we show that there is an example of two crossing limit cycles when these systems have four zones separated by three straight lines.

We study the existence of limit cycles in planar piecewise linear Hamiltonian systems with three zones without equilibrium points. In this scenario, we have shown that such systems have at most one crossing limit cycle.

We study the maximal number of limit cycles of piecewise linear near-Hamiltonian systems, whose unperturbed system has two saddles. Using the method developed in [Xiong, 2015], we prove that two limit cycles can be bifurcated from the periodic orbits.

Due to their applications to many physical phenomena during these last decades the interest for studying the discontinuous piecewise differential systems has increased strongly. The limit cycles play a main role in the study of any planar differential system, but to determine the maximum number of limits cycles that a class of planar differential systems can have is one of the main problems in the qualitative theory of the planar differential systems. Thus in general to provide a sharp upper bound for the number of crossing limit cycles that a given class of piecewise linear differential system can have is a very difficult problem. In this paper we characterize the existence and the number of limit cycles for the piecewise linear differential systems formed by linear Hamiltonian systems without equilibria and separated by a reducible cubic curve, formed either by an ellipse and a straight line, or by a parabola and a straight line parallel to the tangent at the vertex of the parabola. Hence we have solved the extended 16th Hilbert problem to this class of piecewise differential systems.

In this paper, we consider a class of flux controlled memristive circuits with a piecewise linear memristor (i.e. the characteristic curve of the memristor is given by a piecewise linear function). The mathematical model is described by a discontinuous planar piecewise smooth differential system, which is defined on three zones separated by two parallel straight lines [Formula: see text] (called as discontinuity lines in discontinuous differential systems). We first investigate the stability of equilibrium points and the existence and uniqueness of a crossing limit cycle for the memristor-based circuit under self-excited oscillation. We then analyze the existence of periodic orbits of forced nonlinear oscillation for the memristive circuit with an external exciting source. Finally, we give numerical simulations to show good matches between our theoretical and simulation results.

In this paper, by using Picard–Fuchs equations and Chebyshev criterion, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles for degenerate quadratic Hamilton systems with polycycles [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] under the perturbations of piecewise smooth polynomials with degree [Formula: see text]. Roughly speaking, for [Formula: see text], a polycycle [Formula: see text] is cyclically ordered collection of [Formula: see text] saddles together with orbits connecting them in specified order. The discontinuity is on the line [Formula: see text]. If the first order Melnikov function is not equal to zero identically, it is proved that the upper bounds of the number of limit cycles bifurcating from each of the period annuli with the boundary [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are respectively [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (taking into account the multiplicity).

In this paper, we provide a lower bound for the maximum number of limit cycles of planar discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems defined in two half-planes separated by a straight line. Here, we only consider nonsliding limit cycles. For those systems, the interior of any limit cycle only contains a unique equilibrium point or a unique sliding segment. Moreover, the linear differential systems that we consider in every half-plane can have either a focus (F), or a node (N), or a saddle (S), these equilibrium points can be real or virtual. Then, we can consider six kinds of planar discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems: FF, FN, FS, NN, NS, SS. We provide for each of these types of discontinuous differential systems examples with two limit cycles.

The study of the piecewise linear differential systems goes back to Andronov, Vitt and Khaikin in 1920’s, and nowadays such systems still continue to receive the attention of many researchers mainly due to their applications. We study the discontinuous piecewise differential systems formed by two linear centers separated by a nonregular straight line. We provide upper bounds for the maximum number of limit cycles that these discontinuous piecewise differential systems can exhibit and we show that these upper bounds are reached. Hence, we solve the extended 16th Hilbert problem for this class of piecewise differential systems.
