Module structure in Conley theory with some applications

Zdzisław Dzedzej (2014)

Banach Center Publications

A multiplicative structure in the cohomological version of Conley index is described following a joint paper by the author with K. Gęba and W. Uss. In the case of equivariant flows we apply a normalization procedure known from equivariant degree theory and we propose a new continuation invariant. The theory is applied then to obtain a mountain pass type theorem. Another illustrative application is a result on multiple bifurcations for some elliptic PDE.

Moduli spaces of abelian differentials : the principal boundary, counting problems, and the Siegel-Veech constants

Alex Eskin, Howard Masur, Anton Zorich (2003)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

A holomorphic 1-form on a compact Riemann surface S naturally defines a flat metric on S with cone-type singularities. We present the following surprising phenomenon: having found a geodesic segment (saddle connection) joining a pair of conical points one can find with a nonzero probability another saddle connection on S having the same direction and the same length as the initial one. A similar phenomenon is valid for the families of parallel closed geodesics. We give a complete description of...

Modulus of analytic classification for the generic unfolding of a codimension 1 resonant diffeomorphism or resonant saddle

Christiane Rousseau, Colin Christopher (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider germs of one-parameter generic families of resonant analytic diffeomorphims and we give a complete modulus of analytic classification by means of the unfolding of the Écalle modulus. We describe the parametric resurgence phenomenon. We apply this to give a complete modulus of orbital analytic classification for the unfolding of a generic resonant saddle of a 2-dimensional vector field by means of the unfolding of its holonomy map. Here again the modulus is an unfolding of the Martinet-Ramis...

Monodromy and topological classification of germs of holomorphic foliations

David Marín, Jean-François Mattei (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We give a complete topological classification of germs of holomorphic foliations in the plane under rather generic conditions. The key point is the introduction of a new topological invariant called monodromy representation. This monodromy contains all the relevant dynamical information, in particular the projective holonomy representations whose topological invariance was conjectured in the eighties by Cerveau and Sad and is proved here under mild hypotheses.

Monotonicity and comparison results for nonnegative dynamic systems. Part I: Discrete-time case

Nico M. van Dijk, Karel Sladký (2006)

Kybernetika

In two subsequent parts, Part I and II, monotonicity and comparison results will be studied, as generalization of the pure stochastic case, for arbitrary dynamic systems governed by nonnegative matrices. Part I covers the discrete-time and Part II the continuous-time case. The research has initially been motivated by a reliability application contained in Part II. In the present Part I it is shown that monotonicity and comparison results, as known for Markov chains, do carry over rather smoothly...

Monotonicity of the period function for some planar differential systems. Part I: Conservative and quadratic systems

A. Raouf Chouikha (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We first examine conditions implying monotonicity of the period function for potential systems with a center at 0 (in the whole period annulus). We also present a short comparative survey of the different criteria. We apply these results to quadratic Loud systems ( L D , F ) for various values of the parameters D and F. In the case of noncritical periods we propose an algorithm to test the monotonicity of the period function for ( L D , F ) . Our results may be viewed as a contribution to proving (or disproving) a conjecture...

Monotonicity of the period function for some planar differential systems. Part II: Liénard and related systems

A. Raouf Chouikha (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We are interested in conditions under which the two-dimensional autonomous system ẋ = y, ẏ = -g(x) - f(x)y, has a local center with monotonic period function. When f and g are (non-odd) analytic functions, Christopher and Devlin [C-D] gave a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the period to be constant. We propose a simple proof of their result. Moreover, in the case when f and g are of class C³, the Liénard systems can have a monotonic period function...

Monte Carlo simulation and analytic approximation of epidemic processes on large networks

Noémi Nagy, Péter Simon (2013)

Open Mathematics

Low dimensional ODE approximations that capture the main characteristics of SIS-type epidemic propagation along a cycle graph are derived. Three different methods are shown that can accurately predict the expected number of infected nodes in the graph. The first method is based on the derivation of a master equation for the number of infected nodes. This uses the average number of SI edges for a given number of the infected nodes. The second approach is based on the observation that the epidemic...

Morales-Ramis Theorems via Malgrange pseudogroup

Guy Casale (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this article we give an obstruction to integrability by quadratures of an ordinary differential equation on the differential Galois group of variational equations of any order along a particular solution. In Hamiltonian situation the condition on the Galois group gives Morales-Ramis-Simó theorem. The main tools used are Malgrange pseudogroup of a vector field and Artin approximation theorem.

More on the Kechris-Pestov-Todorcevic correspondence: Precompact expansions

L. Nguyen Van Thé (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In 2005, the paper [KPT05] by Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic provided a powerful tool to compute an invariant of topological groups known as the universal minimal flow. This immediately led to an explicit representation of this invariant in many concrete cases. However, in some particular situations, the framework of [KPT05] does not allow one to perform the computation directly, but only after a slight modification of the original argument. The purpose of the present paper is to supplement [KPT05]...

Morse index and bifurcation of p-geodesics on semi Riemannian manifolds

Monica Musso, Jacobo Pejsachowicz, Alessandro Portaluri (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Given a one-parameter family { g λ : λ [ a , b ] } of semi Riemannian metrics on an n-dimensional manifold M, a family of time-dependent potentials { V λ : λ [ a , b ] } and a family { σ λ : λ [ a , b ] } of trajectories connecting two points of the mechanical system defined by ( g λ , V λ ) , we show that there are trajectories bifurcating from the trivial branch σ λ if the generalized Morse indices μ ( σ a ) and μ ( σ b ) are different. If the data are analytic we obtain estimates for the number of bifurcation points on the branch and, in particular, for the number of strictly conjugate...
