On the Limit Cycles of Switching Ordinary Differential Equations
摘要
In this paper, we investigate the limit cycles of a class of switching ordinary differential equations consisting of two sub-equations. We propose a general framework for studying the maximum number of limit cycles of the equations. As applications, we analyze three biological models in recent literature. We prove that a general model of single species with seasonal constant-yield harvesting can only possess at most two limit cycles, which improves the work of Xiao (
