Abstract

The averaging theory has been extensively employed for studying periodic solutions of smooth and nonsmooth differential systems. Here, we extend the averaging theory for studying periodic solutions a class of regularly perturbed non-autonomous -dimensional discontinuous piecewise smooth differential system. As a fundamental hypothesis, it is assumed that the unperturbed system has a manifold of periodic solutions satisfying Then, we apply this result to study limit cycles bifurcating from periodic solutions of linear differential systems, , when they are perturbed inside a class of discontinuous piecewise polynomial differential systems with two zones. More precisely, we study the periodic solutions of the following differential system:

in , where is a small parameter, is a matrix having one pair of pure imaginary conjugate eigenvalues, zeros eigenvalues, and non-zero real eigenvalues.
