In this paper, we present an algorithm which computes a fundamental matrix of formal solutions of completely integrable Pfaffian systems with normal crossings in two variables, based on (Barkatou, 1997). A first step was set in…
The notion of lambda-symmetries, originally introduced by C. Muriel and J.L. Romero, is extended to the case of systems of first-order ODE's (and of dynamical systems in particular). It is shown that the existence of a symmetry of this type…
Motivated by bifurcation of branches of homoclinic orbits of dynamical systems, we consider families of first-order equations on the real line and introduce a generalisation of previous index theorems by Pejsachowicz, and by Hu and…
We study a necessary condition for the integrability of the polynomials fields in the plane by means of the differential Galois theory. More concretely, by means of the variational equations around a particular solution it is obtained a…

Most of the engineering and physical systems are generally characterized by differential and difference equations based on their continuous-time and discrete-time dynamics, respectively. Moreover, these dynamical models are analyzed using…
A new notion of an optimum first order calculi was introduced in [Borowiec, Kharchenko and Oziewicz, 1993]. A module of vector fields for a coordinate differential is defined. Some examples of optimal algebras for homogeneous bimodule…

We present an algorithm which allows to solve analytically linear systems of differential equations which factorize to first order. The solution is given in terms of iterated integrals over an alphabet where its structure is implied by the…
We develop a partial Hamiltonian framework to obtain reductions and closed-form solutions via first integrals of current value Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The approach is algorithmic and applies to many…

This work develops a procedure to find classes of Lagrangian densities that describe generalizations of the Abelian Maxwell-Higgs, the Chern-Simons-Higgs and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs models. The investigation focuses on the…
We thoroughly investigate Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations as time integrators for second-order oscillatory systems, considering both second-order and first-order formulations of the original problem. Key contributions include…
Identifying the underlying dynamics of physical systems can be challenging when only provided with observational data. In this work, we consider systems that can be modelled as first-order ordinary differential equations. By assuming a…
In contrast to regular ordinary differential equations, the problem of accurately setting initial conditions just emerges in the context of differential-algebraic equations where the dynamic degree of freedom of the system is smaller than…
Systems with a first integral (i.e., constant of motion) or a Lyapunov function can be written as ``linear-gradient systems'' $\dot x= L(x)\nabla V(x)$ for an appropriate matrix function $L$, with a generalization to several integrals or…
The dynamics of nonlinear conservation laws have long posed fascinating problems. With the introduction of some nonlinearity, e.g. Burgers' equation, discontinuous behavior in the solutions is exhibited, even for smooth initial data. The…
