Limit Cycles for a Class of Piecewise Smooth Quadratic Differential Systems with Multiple Parameters

Abstract

This paper considers a class of quadratic differential systems with an isochronous center under small piecewise smooth perturbations. Two perturbation parameters at different scales are included in the system. By using the first order Melnikov function, we obtain some new results on the number of small-amplitude limit cycles bifurcating around an isochronous center.
