China PEI YU Department of Applied Mathematics, The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5B7 Received November 5, 2009; Revised December 21, 2009 In this paper, we study a cubic system and obtain a concrete condition under which the cubic system has 13 limit cycles. Keywords: Cubic; limit cycle; bifurcation; polynomial system.

1. Introduction and Main Result As we know, the second part of the Hilbert problem is to find the maximal number and relative locations of limit cycles of polynomial systems of degree n. Let H(n) denote this number, which is called the Hilbert number. Then the problem of finding H(n) is divided into two parts: find an upper and lower bounds of it. For the upper bound there are ´ important works of Ecalle [1990] and IIyashenko and Yakovenko [1991]. However, if H(n) < ∞ holds or not is still open, even for the case n = 2. On the other hand, many works have been done on the lower bound, especially for quadratic and cubic systems. See [Li, 2003] for a detailed introduction to recent advancement of the problem. For example, Bautin [1952] proved H(2) ≥ 3 by studying Hopf

bifurcation. Chen and Wang [1979] and Shi [1980] separately proved H(2) ≥ 4. Li and Huang [1987] first found a cubic system having 11 limit cycles, giving H(3) ≥ 11. Li and Liu [1991], and Liu et al. [2003] respectively found more cubic systems having 11 limit cycles with the same distribution. Later, Han et al. [2004] and Han et al. [2004, 2005] used the method of stability-changing of a homoclinic loop to give more cubic systems having 11 limit cycles with two different distributions. Then Zhang et al. [2005] studied an asymmetric cubic system and found three different distributions of 11 limit cycles. Yu and Han [2004, 2005a, 2005b] proved further H(3) ≥ 12 by studying Hopf bifurcation in some centrally symmetric cubic systems. Recently, Liu and Li [2008] obtained a sufficient condition for

the existence of 13 limit cycles in this kind of cubic systems. The 13 limit cycles have the distribution: one large limit cycle bifurcated from the equator surrounds 12 small limit cycles which are bifurcated from two symmetric foci. Then in the same year, Li et al. [2009] considered a cubic system of the form x˙ = y(y 2 − k2 ), y˙ = x(x + 1)(x − λ)

where 0 < λ < 1, k > 10, and α1 , α2 , α3 and α4 are parameters, and proved that the system can also have 13 limit cycles if k is sufficiently large. The limit cycles are obtained by proving the existence of zeros of Melnikov functions based on some known results, and present a new distribution. Both works of Liu and Li [2008], Li et al. [2009] are the best results so far for cubic systems and are very important, yielding H(3) ≥ 13. In this paper, motivated by the work of Li et al. [2009], we consider the following cubic system

− εy(δ1 + δ2 x + δ3 x2 + δ4 y 2 ), where k > 0, b > 0, and δ1 , δ2 , δ3 and δ4 are parameters. It is easy to see that (1) and (2) are equivalent. We use the method developed in Han and Chen [2000], Han et al. [2008], Yang and Han [2007] to prove that system (2) can have 13 limit cycles. The main purpose is to give a concrete condition for the existence of 13 limit cycles, which can be taken as an improvement of the work by Li et al. [2009] in two aspects: a simple and concrete condition for the existence of 13 limit cycles is given; on the other hand, the proof method (i.e. the way to find zeros of Melnikov functions) is simpler and more direct. The condition here is also much simpler than that of Liu and Li [2008]. More precisely, we have the following main result. Theorem 1. System (2) has 13 limit cycles if

k = 100,

then system (2) has 13 limit cycles. Remark. The distribution of the 13 limit cycles

under the condition of the above theorem is just the same as obtained in Li et al. [2009] as shown in Fig. 1.

Then for each of h1 and h2 , the equation H(x, y) = hj defines a double homoclinic loop passing through Sj , denoted by Lj , and for h0 , the equation H(x, y) = h0 with y > 0 defines a double homoclinic loop passing through S0 , denoted by L0 .

where δ1∗ = −30000δ4 , and K0 and K1 are given by (24), then

By Maple 10 we have M (h, δ1∗ , δ2∗ )|h=−31502882.64306 ≈ 18119541.753047δ4 − 24079125.253207δ3 ≡ M1∗ , M (h, δ1∗ , δ2∗ )|h=−31502882.64304 ≈ 18119541.753057δ4 − 24079125.253240δ3

M (h, δ1 , δ2 ) has five zeros in (h0 , h1 ); M1 (h, δ1 , δ2 ) has a zero in (α1 , h0 ); ˜ 2 (h, δ1 , δ2 ) has a zero in (h2 , +∞); M all of these zeros are of an odd multiplicity.

which ensures that M (h, δ1 , δ2 ) has two new zeros h∗1 , h∗2 ∈ (h0 , h∗3 ) near h0 both having an odd multiplicity with h∗1 < h∗2 . At the same time, the zeros h∗3 , h∗4 and h∗5 of M (h, δ1 , δ2 ), h∗0 of M1 (h, δ1 , δ2 ) and ˜ ∗ of M ˜ 2 (h, δ1 , δ2 ) remain under (29). This ends the h 0 proof.  Corollary 1. Let k = 100, b = 7/2 and (δ3 , δ4 ) satisfy (5). Then for K0 , K1 and δ1∗ satisfying (6) and δ1 and δ2 satisfying (29), the conclusions (1)–(4) of Lemma 4 hold.

In fact, under (5) we have k1 δ4 ≈ 19999.999999993,

k2 δ4 ≈ 20000.000000010.

Thus, (3) is satisfied. Hence, the corollary follows from Lemma 4. On the other hand, in this case, similar to (25) and (28) we have c01 ≈ 7.3016544125820 > 0, c2 ≈ −108.90321618344 < 0,

M (h, δ1∗ , δ2∗ )|h=−31502882.64304 ≈ −0.16451532561954 < 0, ˜ 2 (h, δ∗ , δ∗ )|h=9×107 M 1 2 ≈ −1981243697993.1 < 0 which also yield Corollary 1 by the above discussion. Now, it is clear that Theorem 1 follows from Lemma 4, Corollary 1 and the well-known Poincare– Pontrjagin–Andronov theorem (Theorem 6.1 in [Li, 2003]).
