Gradient trajectories for plane singular metrics I: oscillating trajectories

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2012-05-31 v1 Algebraic Geometry Logic

Abstract

We construct an example of a real plane analytic singular metric, degenerating only at the origin, such that any gradient trajectory (respectively to this singular metric) of some well chosen function spirals around the origin. The inversion mapping carries this example into an example of a gradient spiraling dynamics at infinity.
