We consider a class of planar polynomial systems with discontinuous righthand sides and prove that, under certain hypotheses, it presents at most one singular limit cycle and two regular limit cycles. Furthermore the sum of the multiplicity of the regular limit cycles is less or equal than two. A ke

โฆ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with both small-amplitude and large-amplitude limit cycle bifurcations of planar di!erential systems. The analysis is not restricted to minimal models with few non-linear terms, in fact, the novel approach adopted here is to consider di!erential equations containing highly non-linear terms in both the damping and restoring coe$cients. The maximum number of limit cycles which may be bifurcated in a small region of the origin is given for certain classes of the more generalised mixed (Rayleigh}LieH nard) oscillator equations of the form xK #( f (x)#h(xR ))xR #g(x)"0. Certain mechanical systems are investigated.
