In this article, we study a rich and complex phenomena of planar piecewise linear systems having two domains of which the separation curves are not straight. We show that for positive integers n and m and non-negative integers $n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_m$, there exist two types of piecewise linear systems: one has a period annulus possessing exactly n critical periods; the other has m period annuli possessing exactly $n_1,n_2,\dots,n_m$ critical periods. Moreover, an algebraic curve can be chosen as the separation line in system of the first type. |
