Limit cycle bifurcations of piecewise smooth near-Hamiltonian systems with a switching curve
The authors consider limit cycles for planar piecewise smooth dynamical systems having a switching curve. One of the main goals is the construction of a first-order Melnikov function, that is used to study Hopf bifurcations when the periodic annulus has an elementary center as a boundary. Some applications are given.
