This article deals with the study of the number of limit cycles surrounding a critical point of a quadratic planar vector field, which, in normal form, can be written as $x'= a_1 x-y-a_3x^2+(2 a_2+a_5)xy + a_6 y^2$, $y'= x+a_1 y + a_2x^2+(2…
In this note we give a family of planar polynomial differential systems with a prescribed hyperbolic limit cycle. This family constitutes a corrected and wider version of an example given in the work of M.A. Abdelkader entitled ``Relaxation…
We develop a new tool, namely polynomial and linear algebraic methods, for studying systems of word equations. We illustrate its usefulness by giving essentially simpler proofs of several hard problems. At the same time we prove extensions…
We study the global behavior of the trajectories of the polynomial system $\dot x = x - x^2 y+p x y^2+ y^3, \ \dot y=y+p y^3 , \ \ p\in \mathbb{R}$. Our study is related to the paper {\it Alarcon B., Castro S.B.S.D., Labouriau I.S.} Glodal…
We consider the average number of limit cycles that bifurcate from a randomly perturbed linear center where the perturbation consists of random (bivariate) polynomials with independent coefficients. This problem reduces, by way of classical…
We show that for certain triangulations of surfaces, circle packings realising the triangulation can be found by solving a system of polynomial equations. We also present a similar system of equations for unbranched circle packings. The…
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…
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…
This paper contains two parts. In the first part, we shall study the Abelian integrals for Zoladek's example [13], in which it is claimed the existence integrals of 11 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point in a particular…
We use the framework of Colombeau algebras of generalized functions to study existence and uniqueness of global generalized solutions to mixed non-local problems for a semilinear hyperbolic system. Coefficients of the system as well as…
We study the number and distribution of the limit cycles of a planar vector field whose component functions are random polynomials. We prove a lower bound on the average number of limit cycles when the random polynomials are sampled from…
It has been known for almost $40$ years that general planar quadratic polynomial systems can have four limit cycles. Recently, four limit cycles were also found in near-integrable quadratic polynomial systems. To help more people to…
The problem of linking the structure of a finite linear dynamical system with its dynamics is well understood when the phase space is a vector space over a finite field. The cycle structure of such a system can be described by the…
In the current article we study complex cycles of higher multiplicity in a specific polynomial family of holomorphic foliations in the complex plane. The family in question is a perturbation of an exact polynomial one-form giving rise to a…
We study the existence of periodic solutions in a class of planar Filippov systems obtained from non-autonomous periodic perturbations of reversible piecewise smooth differential systems. It is assumed that the unperturbed system presents a…
Using continuation methods and bifurcation theory, we study the exact multiplicity of periodic solutions, and the global solution structure, for periodic problems of first order. The results are applied to a population model with fishing,…
We present a simpler proof of the existence of an exact number of one or more limit cycles to the Lienard system $\dot{x}=y-F(x) $, $\dot {y}=-g(xt)$, under weaker conditions on the odd functions $F(x) $ and $g(x) $ as compared to those…
We present a systematic methodology to determine and locate analytically isolated periodic points of discrete and continuous dynamical systems with algebraic nature. We apply this method to a wide range of examples, including a…
We determine the cycle structure of linear feedback shift register with arbitrary monic characteristic polynomial over any finite field. For each cycle, a method to find a state and a new way to represent the state are proposed.
The aim of this paper is to give a sufficient and necessary condition of the generalized polynomial Li\'enard system with a global center (including linear typer and nilpotent type). Recently, Llibre and Valls [J. Differential Equations,…
