We show that for $\\epsilon$ sufficiently small the averaged functions at any order control the existence of crossing limit cycles for systems in this family. We also provide some examples dealing with nonlinear centers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-14T11:08:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C29", "34C25", "37G15", "34C07" ], "keywords": [ "discontinuous piecewise differential systems", "computing limit cycles", "averaging theory", "nonlinear centers", "crossing limit cycles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
