Centers and limit cycle bifurcations in a family of septic Z2-equivariant systems with four switching lines

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 $1\supset(7\,\cup7)$.
