摘要: This paper deals with the problem of limit cycles for the whirling pendulum equation $\dot{x}=y,\ \dot{y}=\sin x(\cos x-r)$ under piecewise smooth perturbations of polynomials of $\cos x$, $\sin x$ and $y$ of degree $n$ with the switching line $x=0$. The upper bounds of the number of limit cycles in both the oscillatory and the rotary regions are obtained using the Picard-Fuchs equations, which the generating functions of the associated first order Melnikov functions satisfy. Furthermore, the exact bound of a special case is given using the Chebyshev system. At the end, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the existence of limit cycles.
