The pole placement problem belongs to the classical problems of linear systems theory. It is often assumed that the ground field is the real numbers R or the complex numbers C. The major result over the complex numbers derived in 1981 by…

The classical notion of center of mass for an isolated system in general relativity is derived from the Hamiltonian formulation and represented by a flux integral at infinity. In contrast to mass and linear momentum which are well-defined…

Eliminating the arbitrary coefficients in the equation of a generic plane curve of order $n$ by computing sufficiently many derivatives, one obtains a differential equation. This is a projective invariant. The first one, corresponding to…

Henri Poincar\'e formulated the mathematics of the Lorentz transformations, known as the Poincar\'e group. He also formulated the Poincar\'e sphere for polarization optics. It is shown that these two mathematical instruments can be combined…

We study the center problem for the class $\mathcal E_\Gamma$ of Abel differential equations $\frac{dv}{dt}=a_1 v^2+a_2 v^3$, $a_1,a_2\in L^\infty ([0,T])$, such that images of Lipschitz paths $\tilde A:=\bigl(\int_0^\cdot a_1(s)ds,…

The Abel differential equation $y'=p(x)y^2+q(x)y^3$ with $p,q\in \mathbb R[x]$ is said to have a center on a segment $[a,b]$ if all its solutions, with the initial value $y(a)$ small enough, satisfy the condition $y(b)=y(a)$. The problem of…
