The discontinuous planar piecewise linear system with two nodes has at most two limit cycles
arXiv:2506.07716
Abstract
This paper investigates the multiplicity and the number of limit cycles for planar piecewise linear system divided into two regions by a straight line and each linear subsystem has a node. Through constructing Poincare half maps and a successor function, and analyzing the properties of the successor function, we can derive that this system has at most two limit cycles, counting the multiplicities of limit cycles.
