In this paper, we first discuss the linear independence of the complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kinds $K(k)$, $E(k)$ and $\Pi(\mu(k),k)$, and then obtain an upper bound for the number of zeros of a function of the…

We consider a mechanical system consisting of $n$ penduli and a $d$-dimensional generalized rotator subject to a time-dependent perturbation. The perturbation is not assumed to be either Hamiltonian, or periodic or quasi-periodic. The…
In this paper we study polynomial Hamiltonian systems $dF=0$ in the plane and their small perturbations: $dF+\epsilon\omega=0$. The first nonzero Melnikov function $M_{\mu}=M_{\mu}(F,\gamma,\omega)$ of the Poincar\'e map along a loop…
In this article an upper bound for the first consecutive zeros of the Fermat quotient is given in terms of the zeros of a Mirimanoff polynomial. This bound is obtained by investigating a relation between these polynomials and the factor…
Using stationary phase methods, we provide an explicit formula for the Melnikov function of the one and a half degrees of freedom system given by a Hamiltonian system subject to a rapidly oscillating perturbation. Remarkably, the Melnikov…
We consider perturbed pendulum-like equations on the cylinder of the form $ \ddot x+\sin(x)= \varepsilon \sum_{s=0}^{m}{Q_{n,s} (x)\, \dot x^{s}}$ where $Q_{n,s}$ are trigonometric polynomials of degree $n$, and study the number of limit…
Motivated by the effective bounds of ordinary differential equations, we prove an effective version of uniform bounding for partial differential fields with commuting derivations. More precisely, we provide an upper bound for the size of…
We study the problem of placing effective upper bounds for the number of zeros of solutions of Fuchsian systems on the Riemann sphere. The principal result is an explicit (non-uniform) upper bound, polynomially growing on the frontier of…
In this paper, we are interested in providing lower estimations for the maximum number of limit cycles $H(n)$ that planar piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by the curve $y=x^n$ can have, where $n$ is a positive…
We study the family of piecewise linear differential systems in the plane with two pieces separated by a cubic curve. Our main result is that 7 is a lower bound for the Hilbert number of this family. In order to get our main result, we…
A precise tie between a univariate spline's knots and its zeros abundance and dissemination is formulated. As an application, a conjecture formulated by De Concini and Procesi is shown to be true in the special univariate, unimodular case.…
In this work the Melnikov method for perturbed Hamiltonian wave equations is considered in order to determine possible chaotic behaviour in the systems. The backbone of the analysis is the multi-symplectic formulation of the unperturbed PDE…
