Convergence of normal form transformations: The role of symmetries

Mathematical Physics 2013-09-18 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We discuss the convergence problem for coordinate transformations which take a given vector field into Poincar\'e-Dulac normal form. We show that the presence of linear or nonlinear Lie point symmetries can guaranteee convergence of these normalizing transformations, in a number of scenarios. As an application, we consider a class of bifurcation problems.
