Abstract

Recently Braga and Mello conjectured that for a given n is an element of N there is a piecewise linear system with two zones in the plane with exactly n limit cycles. In this paper, we prove a result from which the conjecture is an immediate consequence. Several explicit examples are given where location and stability of limit cycles are provided. (AU)
