A characterization of isochronous centres in terms of symmetries.

Emilio Freire, Gasull, Armengol, Guillamon, Antoni 2 (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

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;...

Approximative sequences and almost homoclinic solutions for a class of second order perturbed Hamiltonian systems

Marek Izydorek, Joanna Janczewska (2014)

Banach Center Publications

In this work we will consider a class of second order perturbed Hamiltonian systems of the form q ̈ + V q ( t , q ) = f ( t ) , where t ∈ ℝ, q ∈ ℝⁿ, with a superquadratic growth condition on a time periodic potential V: ℝ × ℝⁿ → ℝ and a small aperiodic forcing term f: ℝ → ℝⁿ. To get an almost homoclinic solution we approximate the original system by time periodic ones with larger and larger time periods. These approximative systems admit periodic solutions, and an almost homoclinic solution for the original system is obtained...
