We introduce a method to estimate the size of the domain of definition of the solutions of a meromorphic vector field on a neighborhood of its pole divisor. The corresponding techniques are, in a certain sense, quantitative versions of some…

In 2021, Gupta and Suzumura proposed a novel algorithm for enumerating all bounded-length simple cycles in directed graphs. In this work, we present concrete examples demonstrating that the proposed algorithm fails to enumerate certain…

We formulate a refined theory of linear systems, using the methods of a previous paper, "A Theory of Branches for Algebraic Curves", and use it to give a geometric interpretation of the genus of an algebraic curve. Using principles of…

We develop novel methods for constructing nearly Hamilton cycles in sublinear expanders with good regularity properties, as well as new techniques for finding such expanders in general graphs. These methods are of independent interest due…

We give upper-bounds for the dimension of some linear systems. The theorem improves the differential Horace method introduced by Alexander-Hirschowitz, and was conjectured by Simpson. Possible applications are the calculus of the dimension…

The phase--portrait of the second order differential equation: $$\ddot x+\sum_{l=0}^nf_l(x) \dot x^l=0 ,$$ is studied. Some results concerning existence, non--existence and uniqueness of limit cycles are presented. Among these, a…

This paper is devoted to study the limit cycle problem of a cubic reversible system with an isochronous center, when it is perturbed inside a class of polynomials. An upper bound of the number of limit cycles is obtained using the Abelian…

Let $\xi$ be a real analytic vector field with an elementary isolated singularity at $0\in \mathbb{R}^3$ and eigenvalues $\pm bi,c$ with $b,c\in \mathbb{R}$ and $b\neq 0$. We prove that all cycles of $\xi$ in a sufficiently small…

A new method is presented for the analysis of limit cycle oscillations in mixed-feedback systems. The calculation of the limit cycle is reformulated as the zero finding of a mixed-monotone relation, that is, of the difference of two…

In 1952, Dirac proved the following theorem about long cycles in graphs with large minimum vertex degrees: Every $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph $G$ with minimum vertex degree $\delta\geq 2$ contains a cycle with at least $\min\{2\delta,n\}$…

We present an overview of some recent developments in the theory of generalized formal series, grounded in diffeological geometric framework. These constructions aim to offer new tools for understanding infinite-dimensional phenomena in…

In this paper, we use differential forms to prove a number of theorems of integral vector calculus that are rarely found in textbooks. Two of them, as far as the author knows, have not been published before. Some possible applications to…

Given a plane graph $G$ (i.e., a planar graph with a fixed planar embedding) and a simple cycle $C$ in $G$ whose vertices are mapped to a convex polygon, we consider the question whether this drawing can be extended to a planar…

Conceptual climate models provide an approach to understanding climate processes through a mathematical analysis of an approximation to reality. Recently, these models have also provided interesting examples of nonsmooth dynamical systems.…

Understanding how the cycles of a graph or digraph behave in general has always been an important point of graph theory. In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct…

In recent decades, piecewise linear differential systems have attracted considerable attention due to their ability to describe a wide range of phenomena. A central problem, as in the theory of general planar differential systems, is to…

This work is devoted to the study of the relationships between graph theory and the qualitative analysis of ordinary differential equations, with a special focus on two-dimensional systems. In particular, we reinterpret classical results…

This article presents a variety of algebraic proofs of Steiner's $1$-Cycle Theorem. It also demonstrates that, under an exponential upper-bound on the iterates, the only $1$-cycles in the (accelerated) $3x-1$ dynamical system are $(1)$ and…

We give two proofs of the Kalman Theorem, alternative to the most common ones, which infer such a classical result of Control Theory using just very basic facts on flows of vector fields. These proofs are apt to be generalised in diverse…

We analyze the dynamics of a class of $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$-equivariant differential equations on the plane, depending on 4 real parameters. This study is the generalisation to $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$ of previous works with $\mathbb{Z}_4$ and…
