Five limit cycles for a simple cubic system.

Noel G. Lloyd, Jane M. Pearson (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

We resolve the centre-focus problem for a specific class of cubic systems and determine the number of limit cycles which can bifurcate from a fine focus. We also describe the methods which we have developed to investigate these questions in general. These involve extensive use of Computer Algebra; we have chosen to use REDUCE.

The null divergence factor.

Javier Chavarriga, Héctor Giacomini, Jaume Giné (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let (P,Q) be a C vector field defined in a open subset U ⊂ R. We call a null divergence factor a C solution V (x, y) of the equation P ∂V/∂x + Q ∂V/ ∂y = ( ∂P/∂x + ∂Q/∂y ) V. In previous works it has been shown that this function plays a fundamental role in the problem of the center and in the determination of the limit cycles. In this paper we show how to construct systems with a given null divergence factor. The method presented in this paper is a generalization of the classical Darboux...

Uniqueness of limit cycles bounded by two invariant parabolas

Eduardo Sáez, Iván Szántó (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a class of cubic polynomial systems with two invariant parabolas and prove in the parameter space the existence of neighborhoods such that in one the system has a unique limit cycle and in the other the system has at most three limit cycles, bounded by the invariant parabolas.

The XVI-th Hilbert problem about limit cycles

Henryk Żołądek (1995)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

1. Introduction. The XVI-th Hilbert problem consists of two parts. The first part concerns the real algebraic geometry and asks about the topological properties of real algebraic curves and surfaces. The second part deals with polynomial planar vector fields and asks for the number and position of limit cycles. The progress in the solution of the first part of the problem is significant. The classification of algebraic curves in the projective plane was solved for degrees less than 8....
