Resumo

We consider piecewise quadratic perturbations of centers of piecewise quadratic systems in two zones determined by a straight line through the origin. By means of expansions of the displacement map, we are able to find isolated zeros of it, without dealing with the unsurprising difficult integrals inherent in the usual averaging approach. We apply this technique to nonsmooth perturbations of the four families of isochronous centers of the Loud family, S1, S2, S3, and S4, as well as to non-smooth perturbations of non-smooth centers given by putting different Si's in each zone. To show the coverage of our approach, we apply its first order, which is equivalent to averaging theory of the first order, in perturbations of the already mentioned centers considering all the straight lines through the origin. Then we apply the second order of our approach to perturbations of the above centers for a specific oblique straight line. Here in order to argue we introduce certain blow-ups in the perturbative parameters. As a consequence of our study, we obtain examples of piecewise quadratic systems with at least 12 limit cycles. By analyzing two previous works of the literature claiming much more limit cycles we found some mistakes in the calculations. Therefore, the best lower bound for the number of limit cycles of a piecewise quadratic system is up to now the 12 limit cycles found in the present paper. (AU)
