Abstract
This paper is concerned with the number of limit cycles for a planar piecewise linear (PWL) system with two zones separated by a straight line. Assume that one of the subsystems of the PWL system has an improper node. The number of limit cycles for saddle-improper node type, focus-improper node type and center-improper node type (the focus or the center is a virtual or boundary equilibrium) are studied. First, we introduce displacement functions and study the number of zeros of displacement functions for different types. Then, we give the parameter regions where the exact number of limit cycles is one or two (at least two) for different types.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos is widely regarded as a leading journal in the exciting fields of chaos theory and nonlinear science. Represented by an international editorial board comprising top researchers from a wide variety of disciplines, it is setting high standards in scientific and production quality. The journal has been reputedly acclaimed by the scientific community around the world, and has featured many important papers by leading researchers from various areas of applied sciences and engineering.
The discipline of chaos theory has created a universal paradigm, a scientific parlance, and a mathematical tool for grappling with complex dynamical phenomena. In every field of applied sciences (astronomy, atmospheric sciences, biology, chemistry, economics, geophysics, life and medical sciences, physics, social sciences, ecology, etc.) and engineering (aerospace, chemical, electronic, civil, computer, information, mechanical, software, telecommunication, etc.), the local and global manifestations of chaos and bifurcation have burst forth in an unprecedented universality, linking scientists heretofore unfamiliar with one another''s fields, and offering an opportunity to reshape our grasp of reality.
