Limit Cycle Bifurcations in a Class of Cubic System near a Nilpotent Center

Abstract

In this paper we deal with a cubic near-Hamiltonian system whose unperturbed system is a simple cubic Hamiltonian system having a nilpotent center. We prove that the system can have 5 limit cycles by using bifurcation theory.
