We consider a family of vector fields defined in some bounded domain of R^p, and we assume that they satisfy Hormander's rank condition of some step r, and that their coefficients have r-1 continuous derivatives. We extend to this nonsmooth…

We consider smooth families of planar polynomial vector fields $\{X_\mu\}_{\mu\in\Lambda}$, where $\Lambda$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, for which there is a hyperbolic polycycle $\Gamma$ that is persistent (i.e., such that none of…

We demonstrate that field theories involving explicit breaking of continous symmetries, incorporate two generic classes of topological defects each of which is stable for a particular range of parameters. The first class includes defects of…

In 1992, P. Pol\'{a}\v{c}ik\cite{P2} showed that one could linearly imbed any vector fields into a scalar semi-linear parabolic equation on $\Omega$ with Neumann boundary condition provided that there exists a smooth vector field…

This paper serves as a first foray on regularisation for planar vector fields. Motivated by singularities in celestial mechanics, the block regularisation of a generic class of degenerate singularities is studied. The paper is concerned…

Weak degeneracy of a graph is a variation of degeneracy that has a close relationship to many graph coloring parameters. In this article, we prove that planar graphs with distance of $3$-cycles at least 2 and no cycles of lengths $5, 6, 7$…

We describe some families of differentiable vector fields with the Hopf bifurcation at infinity, without assuming the continuous differentiability. These vector fields have isolated singular points on the plane, and the initial families are…

In this paper we define the notion of slow divergence integral along sliding segments in regularized planar piecewise smooth systems. The boundary of such segments may contain diverse tangency points. We show that the slow divergence…

Following Smale, we study simple symmetric mechanical systems of $n$ point particles in the plane. In particular, we address the question of the linear and spectral stability properties of relative equilibria, which are special solutions of…

The linearization of semiclassical theories of gravity is investigated in a toy model, consisting of a quantum scalar field in interaction with a second classical scalar field which plays the role of a classical background. This toy model…

Attention is drawn to the mathematical equality of rights of symmetrical constituents derived affinor of a vector field in relation to its antisymmetric constituents. In this regard, raises the question not only of equitable accounting, but…

Many nonlinear dynamical systems exhibit symmetry, affording substantial benefits for control design, observer architecture, and data-driven control. While the classical notion of group invariance enables a cascade decomposition of the…

This paper introduces results for characteristically near vector fields that are stable or non-stable in the polar complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. All characteristic vectors (aka eigenvectors) emanate from the same fixed point in $\mathbb{C}$,…

Discontinuous piecewise differential systems exhibit dynamical behaviors with no counterpart in smooth systems, particularly in the presence of nonsmooth switching structures. In this work, we extend previous results for systems separated…

The main purpose of this work is to provide a non-local approach to study aspects of structural stability of 3D Filippov systems. We introduce a notion of semi-local structural stability which detects when a piecewise smooth vector field is…

We study the maximum number of crossing limit cycles in piecewise-smooth vector fields on the two-dimensional torus, where the discontinuity set is the boundary of the fundamental square. Under the assumption of a polynomial first integral…

We present applications of the notion of isomorphic vector fields to the study of nonlinear stability of relative equilibria. Isomorphic vector fields were introduced by Hepworth [Theory Appl. Categ. 22 (2009), 542-587] in his study of…

Let us say that an $n$-sided polygon is semi-regular if it is circumscriptible and its angles are all equal but possibly one, which is then larger than the rest. Regular polygons, in particular, are semi-regular. We prove that semi-regular…

Symmetry breaking is reported for continuous families of solitons in the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a two-dimensional complex potential. This symmetry-breaking bifurcation is forbidden in generic complex potentials. However, for…

Planar piecewise linear systems with two linearity zones separated by a straight line and with a periodic orbit at infinity are considered. By using some changes of variables and parameters, a reduced canonical form with five parameters is…
