摘要

In this paper, we investigate the limit cycles of a class of switching ordinary differential equations consisting of two sub-equations. We propose a general framework for studying the maximum number of limit cycles of the equations. As applications, we analyze three biological models in recent literature. We prove that a general model of single species with seasonal constant-yield harvesting can only possess at most two limit cycles, which improves the work of Xiao (2016) and Han et al. (2018). We also apply our framework to a general model described by the Abel equations with periodic step function coefficients, showing that its maximum number of limit cycles is three. Finally, a population suppression model for mosquitoes considered by Yu (2020) and Zheng et al. (2021) is studied using our approach.
