In this article we study the continuous and discontinuous planar piecewise differential systems formed only by linear centers separated by one or two parallel straight lines. When these piecewise differential systems are continuous they have no limit cycles. Also if they are discontinuous separated by a unique straight line they do not have limit cycles. But when the piecewise differential systems are discontinuous separated two parallel straight lines, we show that they can have at most one limit cycle, and that there exist such systems with one limit cycle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
