Limit Cycles Produced Near a Double Homoclinic Loop in Perturbed Duffing Oscillators
摘要
In this paper, we study limit cycle bifurcations near a symmetric double homoclinic loop in planar cubic near-Hamiltonian systems by high-order analysis. We find 6 limit cycles from the exterior period annulus near the loop by the third-order Melnikov function, where a type of pseudo-Abelian integrals are involved. Furthermore, using Melnikov functions of different orders for the exterior and inner annuli respectively, we find a new distribution (6, 1, 1) for limit cycles bifurcating near the loop.
