Abstract: |
In this paper, we investigate the center-focus problem and the
number of limit cycles bifurcating from three foci for a family of
piecewise smooth planar septic $Z_2$-equivariant systems, which include
$(\pm1,0)$ and infinity as their singularities. We achieve
a comprehensive classification of the conditions under which $(\pm1,0)$ act as
centers. Moreover, we rigorously prove that, under small $Z_2$-equivariant
perturbations, the perturbed system possesses at least
15 limit cycles, comprising 14 with small amplitude and 1 large amplitude with the scheme, following the scheme $1\supset(7\,\cup7)$. |
