Sliding Cycles of Regularized Piecewise Linear Visible–Invisible Twofolds
摘要
The goal of this paper is to study the number of sliding limit cycles of regularized piecewise linear visible–invisible twofolds using the notion of slow divergence integral. We focus on limit cycles produced by canard cycles located in the half-plane with an invisible fold point. We prove that the integral has at most 1 zero counting multiplicity (when it is not identically zero). This will imply that the canard cycles can produce at most 2 limit cycles. Moreover, we detect regions in the parameter space with 2 limit cycles.
