On the number of limit cycles for discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems in R^2n with two zones

We study the number of limit cycles of the discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems in R2n with two zones separated by a hyperplane. Our main result shows that at most (8n-6)n-1 limit cycles can bifurcate up to first-order expansion of the displacement function with respect to a small par...

Sumario:We study the number of limit cycles of the discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems in R2n with two zones separated by a hyperplane. Our main result shows that at most (8n-6)n-1 limit cycles can bifurcate up to first-order expansion of the displacement function with respect to a small parameter. For proving this result we use the averaging theory in a form where the differentiability of the system is not necessary.
