Abstract
In this paper, we consider a class of switching systems perturbed by cubic homogeneous polynomials. This class of systems is separated by a straight line: [Formula: see text], and has three equilibria: [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] which are in the separation line. A new version of the Gasull–Torregrosa method based on Poincaré return maps is presented, and used to compute the Lyapunov constants. Based on this method, a complete classification on the center conditions is obtained for the studied class of systems. Furthermore, by perturbing the cubic switching integral system with cubic homogeneous polynomials, we show that at least ten small-amplitude limit cycles are obtained around one of the centres. This is a new lower bound for the number of limit cycles bifurcating from a center in such switching systems with cubic homogeneous nonlinearities.
