On a certain type of functional differential equations
Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a C² semialgebraic function and let c be an asymptotic critical value of f. We prove that there exists a smallest rational number such that |x|·|∇f| and are separated at infinity. If c is a regular value and , then f is a locally trivial fibration over c, and the trivialisation is realised by the flow of the gradient field of f.
We study the existence of global canard surfaces for a wide class of real singular perturbation problems. These surfaces define families of solutions which remain near the slow curve as the singular parameter goes to zero.
For several specific mappings we show their chaotic behaviour by detecting the existence of their transversal homoclinic points. Our approach has an analytical feature based on the method of Lyapunov-Schmidt.
We provide an effective uniform upper bound for the number of zeros of the first non-vanishing Melnikov function of a polynomial perturbations of a planar polynomial Hamiltonian vector field. The bound depends on degrees of the field and of the perturbation, and on the order of the Melnikov function. The generic case was considered by Binyamini, Novikov and Yakovenko [BNY10]. The bound follows from an effective construction of the Gauss-Manin connection for iterated integrals.
