“…Proof. First, by (6), (10) with = 2, (12), (14), (29), and Theorem 2.2 in [4], we directly obtain (27) with 0 ( ), 3 ( ) given by (30) and (31), respectively. Then we study the expansions of 1 and 3 .…”

“…There have been many works on this topic. For the study of general near-Hamiltonian systems, see [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]; and especially for the system (2) with the elliptic case, one can see [13][14][15][16][17] and references therein. In [2][3][4], the number of limit cycles of the system (1) near a homoclinic loop with a cusp of order one or two or a nilpotent saddle of order one (for the definition of an order of a cusp or nilpotent saddle, see [5]) was studied.…”
We study the expansions of the first order Melnikov functions for general near-Hamiltonian systems near a compound loop with a cusp and a nilpotent saddle. We also obtain formulas for the first coefficients appearing in the expansions and then establish a bifurcation theorem on the number of limit cycles. As an application example, we give a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles for a polynomial system of Liénard type.

“…For case (b), Yang et al [33] fixed α = β = −2 and proved that the corresponding Abelian integral has at most 4 zeros which can be detected by applying the same method used in [23], and in the same article, the exact same result was obtained for case (c) by fixing α = −2 and β = −1. For cases (e) and (f), it has been proved that the corresponding Abelian integrals have at most 4 zeros but only 3 zeros have been reached, see [14,24,27]. It should be noted that all of these results were obtained by applying the Chebyshev criterion [8,19].…”
In this paper, we study the number of limit cycles emerging from the period annulus by perturbing the Hamiltonian system x˙=y,y˙=x(x2-1)(x2+1)(x2+2). The period annulus has a heteroclinic cycle connecting two hyperbolic saddles as the outer boundary. It is proved that there exist at most 4 and at least 3 limit cycles emerging from the period annulus, and 3 limit cycles are near the boundaries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
