This paper is devoted to study the limit cycle problem of a cubic reversible system with an isochronous center, when it is perturbed inside a class of polynomials. An upper bound of the number of limit cycles is obtained using the Abelian…

We prove that the number of limit cycles, which bifurcate from a two-saddle loop of a planar quadratic Hamiltonian system, under an arbitrary quadratic deformation, is less than or equal to three.

Formation control is concerned with the design of control laws that stabilize agents at given distances from each other, with the constraint that an agent's dynamics can depend only on a subset of other agents. When the information flow…

We prove that the number of limit cycles generated by a small non-conservative perturbation of a Hamiltonian polynomial vector field on the plane, is bounded by a double exponential of the degree of the fields. This solves the long-standing…

We give an algorithm for deciding whether a planar polynomial differential system has a first integral which factorizes as a product of defining polynomials of curves with only one place at infinity. In the affirmative case, our algorithm…

We prove some uniqueness results for conics of minimal area that enclose a compact, full-dimensional subset of the elliptic plane. The minimal enclosing conic is unique if its center or axes are prescribed. Moreover, we provide sufficient…

Given a sequence of curves on a surface, we provide conditions which ensure that (1) the sequence is an infinite quasi-geodesic in the curve complex, (2) the limit in the Gromov boundary is represented by a nonuniquely ergodic ending…

Let $\xi$ be a real analytic vector field with an elementary isolated singularity at $0\in \mathbb{R}^3$ and eigenvalues $\pm bi,c$ with $b,c\in \mathbb{R}$ and $b\neq 0$. We prove that all cycles of $\xi$ in a sufficiently small…

Discontinuous piecewise differential systems exhibit dynamical behaviors with no counterpart in smooth systems, particularly in the presence of nonsmooth switching structures. In this work, we extend previous results for systems separated…

The goal of this paper is to describe a sufficient condition on cycles in graphs for which the edge ideal is splittable. We give an explicit splitting function for such ideals.

We discuss the existence of Hamilton cycles in the random graph $G_{n,p}$ where there are restrictions caused by (i) coloring sequences, (ii) a subset of vertices must occur in a specific order and (iii) there is a bound on the number of…

We consider affine control systems with two scalar controls, such that one control vector field vanishes at an equilibrium state. We state two necessary conditions of local controllability around this equilibrium, involving the iterated Lie…

Let $x'=S(t,x)$ be a differential equation in the cylinder, linear piecewise in $x$ and with trigonometric coefficients in $t$. In this paper, we provide an upper bound on the number of limit cycles in terms of the number of regions of the…

This paper introduces the notions of vector field and flow on a general differentiable stack. Our main theorem states that the flow of a vector field on a compact proper differentiable stack exists and is unique up to a uniquely determined…

It has been known for almost $40$ years that general planar quadratic polynomial systems can have four limit cycles. Recently, four limit cycles were also found in near-integrable quadratic polynomial systems. To help more people to…

We compute the number of equivalence classes of nonperiodic covering cycles of given length in a non oriented connected graph. A covering cycle is a closed path that traverses each edge of the graph at least once. A special case is the…
