Abstract In this work, we are interested in isolated crossing periodic orbits in planar piecewise polynomial vector fields defined in two zones separated by a straight line. In particular, in the number of limit cycles of small amplitude. They are all nested and surrounding one equilibrium point or a sliding segment. We provide lower bounds for the local cyclicity for planar piecewise polynomial systems, M p c ( n ) , with degrees 2, 3, 4 , and 5. More concretely, M p c ( 2 ) ≥ 13 , M p c ( 3 ) ≥ 26 , M p c ( 4 ) ≥ 40 , and M p c ( 5 ) ≥ 58 . The computations use parallelization algorithms.
