Deformation of polar methods

David B. Massey, Dirk Siersma (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study deformations of hypersurfaces with one-dimensional singular loci by two different methods. The first method is by using the Le numbers of a hypersurfaces singularity — this falls under the general heading of a “polar” method. The second method is by studying the number of certain special types of singularities which occur in generic deformations of the original hypersurface. We compare and contrast these two methods, and provide a large number of examples.

Instability of equilibria in dimension three

Marco Brunella (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper we show that if v is an analytic vector field on ℝ 3 having an isolated singular point at 0, then there exists a trajectory of v which converges to 0 in the past or in the future. The proof is based on certain results concerning desingularizaton of vector fields in dimension three and on index-type arguments .
