We illustrate with several new applications the power and elegance of the Bendixson Dulac theorem to obtain upper bounds of the number of limit cycles for several families of planar vector fields. In some cases we propose to use a function…
For a polynomial dynamical system, we study the problem of computing the minimal differential equation satisfied by a chosen coordinate (in other words, projecting the system on the coordinate). This problem can be viewed as a special case…
In this paper, we consider a planar dynamical system with a piecewise linear function containing an arbitrary number (but finite) of dropping sections and approximating some continuous nonlinear function. Studying all possible local and…

Let \(H(n)\) denote the Hilbert number, i.e.\ the maximal number of limit cycles of planar polynomial vector fields of degree \(\le n\). A classical lower-bound mechanism for \(H(n)\) is \emph{replication}: one pulls back a vector field by…
This paper introduces an algorithmic approach to the analysis of bifurcation of limit cycles from the centers of nonlinear continuous differential systems via the averaging method. We develop three algorithms to implement the averaging…
A complex Hilbert space of dimension six supports at least three but not more than seven mutually unbiased bases. Two computer-aided analytical methods to tighten these bounds are reviewed, based on a discretization of parameter space and…
We apply the Ginzburg criterion to the dimer problem and we solve the apparent contradiction of a system with mean field $\alpha={1\over2}$, the typical value of tricritical systems, and upper critical dimension $D_{cr}=6$. We find that the…
