In this paper, we consider the realization of configuration of limit cycles of piecewise linear systems on the plane. We show that any configuration of Jordan curves can be realized by a discontinuous piecewise linear system with two zones…
A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. We establish tight lower bounds on the maximum size of a uniquely restricted matching in terms of order, size, and maximum degree.
We give an explicit upper bound for a number of limit cycles of the Li\'enard equation $\dot{x}=y-F(x)$, $\dot{y}=-x$ of even degree in the case its unique singular point $(0,0)$ is a focus.
We propose a program for finding the cyclicity of period annuli of quadratic systems with centers of genus one. As a first step, we classify all such systems and determine the essential one-parameter quadratic perturbations which produce…
A detailed combinatorial analysis of planar convex lattice polygonal lines is presented. This makes it possible to answer an open question of Vershik regarding the existence of a limit shape when the number of vertices is constrained.
In this paper, we study the analytical property of the Poincare return map and the generalized focal values of an analytical planar system with a nilpotent focus or center. Then we use the focal values and the map to study the number of…
Building on the limit theory for set functions, we prove that the limit of convergent sequence of bounded-degree graphs' cycle matroids can be represented as the cycle matroid of a graphing, analogous to the completeness result for…
This article is an overview of the vanishing cycles method in number theory over function fields. We first explain how this works in detail in a toy example, and then give three examples which are relevant to current research. The focus…
The main purpose of this paper is to study limit cycles in non-linear regularizations of planar piecewise smooth systems with fold points (or more degenerate tangency points) and crossing regions. We deal with a slow fast Hopf point after…
This paper studies the family of piecewise linear differential systems in the plane with two pieces separated by a switching curve $y=x^{m}$, where $m>1$ is an arbitrary positive. By analysing the first order Melnikov function, we give an…
We compute the mapping class group-valued monodromy of any sufficiently ample linear system on any smooth simply connected projective surface, identifying this with the r-spin mapping class group associated to a maximal root of the adjoint…
A square lattice distribution of coupled oscillators that have heteroclinic cycle attractors is studied. In this system, we find a novel type of patterns that is spatially disordered and periodic in time. These patterns are limit cycle…

Let W be a weight-homogeneous planar polynomial differential system with a center. We find an upper bound of the number of limit cycles which bifurcate from the period annulus of W under a generic polynomial perturbation. We apply this…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a family of nonlinear parabolic systems related to phase field models taking in account variations of temperature and the possibility of a general class of nonlinearities. The present…
This paper presents novel controllers that yield finite-time stability for linear systems. We first present a sufficient condition for the origin of a scalar system to be finite-time stable. Then we present novel finite-time controllers…
We study sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian cycles in hypergraphs, and obtain both Tur\'an- and Dirac-type results. While the Tur\'an-type result gives an exact threshold for the appearance of a Hamiltonian cycle in a hypergraph…
We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…
We study limit cycles of nonlinear oscillators described by the equation $\ddot x + \nu F(\dot x) + x =0$. Depending on the nonlinearity this equation may exhibit different number of limit cycles. We show that limit cycles correspond to…
