Considering Limit Cycles as one of the limits of Lienard equation, an analyis analogous to centre manifold analysis has been done for a $3-D$ nonlinear system exhibiting Limit Cycle. A rigorous study on radius of the Limit Cycle orbit has…
We give a simplified proof and an improvement of a recent theorem by A. Grigoriev, placing an upper bound for the number of roots of linear combinations of solutions to systems of linear equations with polynomial or rational coefficients.
We describe the Alexander modules and Alexander polynomials (both over $\Q$ and over finite fields $\FF{p}$) of generalized trigonal curves. The rational case is closed completely; in the case of characteristic $p>0$, a few points remain…
We describe the two-generated limits of abelian-by-(infinite cyclic) groups in the space of marked groups using number theoretic methods. We also discuss universal equivalence of these limits.
Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. We prove that the $b$-adic expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms.…
A formalism is given to count integer and rational solutions to polynomial equations with rational coefficients. These polynomials $P(x)$ are parameterized by three integers, labeling an elliptic curve. The counting of the rational…
In this paper we develop a technique to extend any bound for the minimum distance of cyclic codes constructed from its defining sets (ds-bounds) to abelian (or multivariate) codes through the notion of $\mathbb{B}$-apparent distance. We use…
The asymptotic behavior (such as convergence to an equilibrium, convergence to a 2-cycle, and divergence to infinity) of solutions of the following multi-parameter, rational, second order difference equation x_{n+1} =(ax_{n}^3+…
Let $C$ be a smooth genus one curve described by a quartic polynomial equation over the rational field $\mathbb Q$ with $P\in C(\mathbb Q)$. We give an explicit criterion for the divisibility-by-$2$ of a rational point on the elliptic curve…
In this paper, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles in Lienard systems of the form dot(x)=y-F(x), dot(y)=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial that contains, in general, several free parameters. By using a method introduced in a previous…
We study the set of rational curves of a certain topological type in general members of certain families of Calabi-Yau threefolds. For some families we investigate to what extent it is possible to conclude that this set is finite. For other…
In this paper, we deal with limit cycle bifurcations near a double homoclinic loop with a nilpotent saddle of order 2 by studying expansions of the first order Melnikov functions near the loop and coefficients in these expansions. More…
Recently, the covariant formulation of the geometric bifurcation theory, developed in a previous paper, has been applied to two elementary problems: the study of limit cycles of dynamical systems and the second part of Hilbert's sixteenth…
We consider the problem of sensitivity of threshold risk, defined as the probability of a function of a random variable falling below a specified threshold level $\delta >0.$ We demonstrate that for polynomial and rational functions of that…
Inspired by a recent beautiful construction of Armin Straub and Wadim Zudilin, that 'tweaked' the sum of the $s^{th}$ powers of the $n$-th row of Pascal's triangle, getting instead of sequences of numbers, sequences of rational functions,…
The continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $\alpha$ is eventually periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrationality. However, very little is known regarding the size of the partial quotients of algebraic real…
We classify general square systems of polynomial equations solvable in radicals. Expectedly, they are almost in a 1-to-1 correspondence with tuples of lattice polytopes of mixed volume not exceeding 4. The proof is based on the computation…
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…
An algorithm for computing the limit of a quotient of bivariate real analytic functions has been developed by one of the authors in (Limits of quotients of bivariate real analytic functions, Journal of Symbolic Computation, 50, 2013, 197…
We give conditions on the rational numbers a,b,c which imply that there are infinitely many triples (x,y,z) of rational numbers such that x+y+z=a+b+c and xyz=abc. We do the same for the equations x+y+z=a+b+c and x^3+y^3+z^3=a^3+b^3+c^3.…
