Abstract: This paper deals with the question of the determinacy of the maximum number of limit cycles of some classes of planar discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems defined in two half-planes separated by a straight line \Sigma. We restrict ourselves to the non-sliding limit cycles case, i. e. , limit cycles that do not contain any sliding segment. Among all cases treated here, it is proved that the maximum number of limit cycles is at most 2 if one of the two linear differential systems of the discontinuous piecewise linear differential system has a focus in \Sigma, a center, or a weak saddle. We use the theory of Chebyshev systems for establishing sharp upper bounds for the number of limit cycles. Some normal forms are also provided for these systems.
