The Poincar\'{e}-Bendixson theorem is one of the most fundamental tools to capture the limit behaviors of orbits of flows. It was generalized and applied to various phenomena in dynamical systems, differential equations, foliations, group…
We prove a version of the Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem for certain classes of curves on the 2-sphere which are not required to be the trajectories of an underlying flow or semiflow on the sphere itself. Using this result we extend the…
A generalization of the Poincar\'{e}-Hopf index theorem applicable to hybrid dynamical systems is obtained. For the hybrid systems considered, guard sets are not assumed to be smooth; distinct "modes" are not assumed to have constant…
We study the Poincare-Bendixson theorem for two-dimensional continuous dynamical systems in compact domains from the point of view of computation, seeking algorithms for finding the limit cycle promised by this classical result. We start by…
A nonlinear dynamical system is called eventually competitive (or cooperative) provided that it preserves a partial order in backward (or forward) time only after some reasonable initial transient. We presented in this paper the…
The Poincar\'e map is widely used to study the qualitative behavior of dynamical systems. For instance, it can be used to describe the existence of periodic solutions. The Poincar\'e map for dynamical systems with impulse effects was…
When the Poincar\'{e} map associated with a periodic orbit of a hybrid dynamical system has constant-rank iterates, we demonstrate the existence of a constant-dimensional invariant subsystem near the orbit which attracts all nearby…
In this paper some qualitative and geometric aspects of nonsmooth vector fields theory are discussed. In the class of nonsmooth systems, that do not present sliding regions, a Poincar\'e-Bendixson Theorem is presented. A minimal set in…
Poincar\'e's Polyhedron Theorem is a widely known valuable tool in constructing manifolds endowed with a prescribed geometric structure. It is one of the few criteria providing discreteness of groups of isometries. This work contains a…
We investigate the global dynamics from a measure-theoretic perspective for smooth flows with invariant cones of rank k. For such systems, it is shown that prevalent (or equivalently, almost all) orbits will be pseudo-ordered or convergent…
A novel method for stability and instability study of autonomous dynamical systems using the flow and divergence of the vector field is proposed. A relation between the method of Lyapunov functions and the proposed method is established.…
We consider time-invariant nonlinear $n$-dimensional strongly $2$-cooperative systems, that is, systems that map the set of vectors with up to weak sign variation to its interior. Strongly $2$-cooperative systems enjoy a strong…
We study semiflows satisfying a certain squeezing condition with respect to a quadratic functional in some Banach space. Under certain compactness assumptions from our previous results it follows that there exists an invariant manifold,…
This paper deals with fundamental properties of Poincar\'e half-maps defined on a straight line for planar linear systems. Concretely, we focus on the analyticity of the Poincar\'e half-maps, their series expansions (Taylor and…
The dynamics of linear positive systems map the positive orthant to itself. In other words, it maps a set of vectors with zero sign variations to itself. This raises the following question: what linear systems map the set of vectors with…
We present a new variational principle for the gyrokinetic system, similar to the Maxwell-Vlasov action presented in Ref. 1. The variational principle is in the Eulerian frame and based on constrained variations of the phase space fluid…
We investigate the singularly perturbed monotone systems with respect to cones of rank $2$ and obtain the so called Generic Poincar\'{e}-Bendixson theorem for such perturbed systems, that is, for a bounded positively invariant set, there…
This paper deals with the problem of location and existence of limit cycles for real planar polynomial differential systems. We provide a method to construct Poincar\'e--Bendixson regions by using transversal conics. We present several…
For an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the sphere, we prove that if a translation line does not accumulate in a fixed point, then it necessarily spirals towards a topological attractor. This is in analogy with the description of…
Based on the d'Alembert-Lagrange-Poincar\'{e} variational principle, we formulate general equations of motion for mechanical systems subject to nonlinear nonholonomic constraints, that do not involve Lagrangian undetermined multipliers. We…
