A bifurcation result for Sturm-Liouville problems with a set-valued term.
We present a description of isochronous centres of planar vector fields X by means of their groups of symmetries. More precisely, given a normalizer U of X (i.e., [X,U]= µ X, where µ is a scalar function), we provide a necessary and sufficient isochronicity condition based on µ. This criterion extends the result of Sabatini and Villarini that establishes the equivalence between isochronicity and the existence of commutators ([X,U]= 0). We put also special emphasis on the mechanical aspects of isochronicity;...
We study the integrability of two-dimensional autonomous systems in the plane of the form , , where Xs(x,y) and Ys(x,y) are homogeneous polynomials of degree s with s≥2. First, we give a method for finding polynomial particular solutions and next we characterize a class of integrable systems which have a null divergence factor given by a quadratic polynomial in the variable with coefficients being functions of tan−1(y/x).
In this paper property (A) of the linear delay differential equation is to deduce from the oscillation of a set of the first order delay differential equations.
