On Hopf Bifurcation in Piecewise Smooth Near-Hamiltonian Systems
摘要
In this paper, we study Hopf bifurcation for planar piecewise smooth near-Hamiltonian systems with an elementary center, and obtain some new properties of the first order Melnikov function. As an application, we give upper and lower bounds of the maximum number of limit cycles of a piecewise polynomial system near the elementary center.
