Newton flows for elliptic functions II Structural stability: Classification & Representation
Abstract
In our previous paper we associated to each non-constant elliptic function on a torus a dynamical system, the elliptic Newton flow corresponding to . We characterized the functions for which these flows are structurally stable and showed a genericity result. In the present paper we focus on the classification and representation of these structurally stable flows. The phase portrait of a structurally stable elliptic Newton flow generates a connected, cellularly embedded, graph on a torus with vertices, 2 edges and faces that fulfil certain combinatorial properties ( Euler, Hall) on some of its subgraphs. The graph determines the conjugacy class of the flow. [classification] A connected, cellularly embedded toroidal graph with the above Euler and Hall properties, is called a Newton graph. Any Newton graph can be realized as the graph of the structurally stable Newton flow for some function . This leads to: up till conjugacy between flows and (topological) equivalency between graphs, there is a one to one correspondence between the structurally stable Newton flows and Newton graphs, both with respect to the same order of the underlying functions .[representation] Finally, we clarify the analogy between rational and elliptic Newton flows, and show that the detection of elliptic Newton flows is possible in polynomial time.
