Limit Cycle Bifurcations Near Nonsmooth Homoclinic Cycle in Discontinuous Systems

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to study the limit cycle bifurcations near the homoclinic cycle in the discontinuous systems. Based on the impoved Lin’s method, we establish the bifurcation equation, which presents the existence of limit cycles bifurcated from nonsmooth homoclinic cycles under perturbation. Furthermore, we give an example to support our conclusions. After solving a boundary value problem with numerical tools, we provide the exact parameter values for the system having a limit cycle.
