Bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of quintic Hamiltonian systems with double heteroclinic loops. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1289.34108
Summary: We consider bifurcation of limit cycles in a class of quintic Hamiltonian systems
\[
\dot{x}=y,\;\dot{y}=-(ax+bx^3+cx^5)
\]
with double heteroclinic loops under small perturbation of the form \(\varepsilon (\alpha+\beta x^2+x^4)y\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\), where \(a<0,\;b>0\) and \(3b^2=16ac\). It is proved that at most 2 limit cycles can bifurcate for \(0<|\varepsilon|\ll 1\), and a complete bifurcation diagram is obtained.
