A system of plane curves defined by prescribing n points of multiplicity m in general position is regular if n > (2m)^2. The proof uses computation of limits of linear systems acquiring fixed divisors, an interesting problem in itself.

In piecewise-smooth differential systems, a hyperbolic limit cycle of a subsystem loses its structural stability if it grazes the switching manifold at a tangent point. Such a cycle is called a grazing loop and in this paper we investigate…
