The paper provides a coherent presentation of an operator scheme, which is used in an approach to inverse problems of mathematical physics (the boundary control method). The scheme is based on the triangular factorization of operators. It…
The purpose of this paper is to advance the knowledge of the dynamics arising from the creation and subsequent bifurcation of Poincar\'e heteroclinic cycles. The problem is central to dynamics: it has to be addressed if, for instance, one…
A family of periodic perturbations of an attracting robust heteroclinic cycle defined on the two-sphere is studied by reducing the analysis to that of a one-parameter family of maps on a circle. The set of zeros of the family forms a…
The basic tool of classical results by Malkin and Melnikov on bifurcation of periodic solutions from nondegenerate cycles of autonomous systems with periodic perturbations is an implicit function theorem. In this paper the Poincare index is…
For planar polynomials systems the existence of an invariant algebraic curve limits the number of limit cycles not contained in this curve. We present a general approach to prove non existence of periodic orbits not contained in this given…
Poincar\'e recurrence theorem implies the density of recurrent points for volume-preserving dynamical systems on compact domains. The density of closed orbits in the non-wandering set is one of the essential properties of Axiom A and chaos.…
Brake orbits and homoclinics of autonomous dynamical systems correspond, via Maupertuis principle, to geodesics in Riemannian manifolds endowed with a metric which is singular on the boundary (Jacobi metric). Motivated by the classical, yet…
We give an algorithm for deciding whether a planar polynomial differential system has a first integral which factorizes as a product of defining polynomials of curves with only one place at infinity. In the affirmative case, our algorithm…
Given a dynamical system, we study the so-called space of shift functions thus introducing another vision on bifurcations and chaos. As an application of the obtained results, we give a partial solution to an open problem formulated in…
Chaotic dynamics can be effectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. Using the Henon map as an example, we obtain a simple analytical bound on the domain of existence of the horseshoe that is equivalent to the…
Connecting orbits are important invariant structures in the state space of nonlinear systems and various techniques are designed for their computation. However, a uniform analytic approximation of the whole orbit seems rare. Here, based on…
Periodic orbits of systems of ordinary differential equations can be found and continued numerically by following fixed points of Poincar\'e maps. However, this often fails near grazing bifurcations where a periodic orbit collides…
In [Trace identities and $\bf {Z}/2\bf {Z}$-graded invariants, {\it Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. \bf309} (1988), 581--589] we generalized the first and second fundamental theorems of invariant theory from the general linear group to the general…
$k$-diagonal circulant matrices and cyclic banded matrices are widely used in numerical simulations and signal processing of circular linear systems. Algorithms that directly involve or specify linear or quadratic complexity for the…
We provide sharp lower bounds for the multiplicity of a local holomorphic foliation defined in a complex surface in terms of data associated to a germ of invariant curve. Then we apply our methods to invariant curves whose branches are…
This paper deals with the period function of the reversible quadratic centers \begin{equation*} X_{\np}=-y(1-x)\partial_x+(x+Dx^2+Fy^2)\partial_y, \end{equation*} where $\np=(D,F)\in\R^2.$ Compactifying the vector field to $\Sc^2$, the…
We study a three-dimensional dynamical system in two slow variables and one fast variable. We analyze the tangency of the unstable manifold of an equilibrium point with "the" repelling slow manifold, in the presence of a stable periodic…
Finding the inverse of a matrix is an open problem especially when it comes to engineering problems due to their complexity and running time (cost) of matrix inversion algorithms. An optimum strategy to invert a matrix is, first, to reduce…
We extend the Eruguin result exposed in the paper "Construction of the whole set of ordinary differential equations with a given integral curve" published in 1952 and construct a differential system in $\Bbb{R}^N$ which admits a given set…
We study the number of limit cycles and the bifurcation diagram in the Poincar\'{e} sphere of a one-parameter family of planar differential equations of degree five $\dot {\bf x}=X_b({\bf x})$ which has been already considered in previous…
