A "Birkhoff-Lewis" type result for a class of Hamiltonian systems.
The global convergence of a direct method for determining turning (limit) points of a parameter-dependent mapping is analysed. It is assumed that the relevant extended system has a singular root for a special parameter value. The singular root is clasified as a (i.e., as a turning point). Then, the Theorz for Imperfect Bifurcation offers a particular scenario for the split of the singular root into a finite number of regular roots (turning points) due to a given parameter imperfection. The relationship...
Saddle connections and subharmonics are investigated for a class of forced second order differential equations which have a fixed saddle point. In these equations, which have linear damping and a nonlinear restoring term, the amplitude of the forcing term depends on displacement in the system. Saddle connections are significant in nonlinear systems since their appearance signals a homoclinic bifurcation. The approach uses a singular perturbation method which has a fairly broad application to saddle...
We prove that the lowest upper bound for the number of isolated zeros of the Abelian integrals associated to quadratic Hamiltonian vector fields having a center and an invariant straight line after quadratic perturbations is one.
Let be the real vector space of Abelian integralswhere is a fixed real polynomial, is an arbitrary real polynomial and , , is the interior of the oval of which surrounds the origin and tends to it as . We prove that if is a semiweighted homogeneous polynomial with only Morse critical points, then is a free finitely generated module over the ring of real polynomials , and compute its rank. We find the generators of in the case when is an arbitrary cubic polynomial. Finally we...
