摘要

In this work we consider families of smooth vector fields having a persistent polycycle with n hyperbolic saddles. We derive the asymptotic expansion of the return map associated to the polycycle, determining its leading terms. As a consequence, we obtain conditions on the leading terms that allow us to determine the cyclicity of such polycycles. A general sufficient condition for the stability of polycycles with graphic number equal to one is also obtained. We then apply our results to study the cyclicity of a polycycle of a model with applications in Game Theory.
