Limit cycles for two classes of planar polynomial differential systems with uniform isochronous centers

In this article, we study the maximum number of limit cycles for two classes of planar polynomial differential systems with uniform isochronous centers. Using the first-order averaging method, we analyze how many limit cycles can bifurcate from the period solutions surrounding the centers of the considered systems when they are perturbed inside the class of homogeneous polynomial differential systems of the same degree. We show that the maximum number of limit cycles, $m$ and $m+1$, that can bifurcate from the period solutions surrounding the centers for the two classes of differential systems of degree $2m$ and degree $2m+1$, respectively. Both of the bounds can be reached for all $m$.     

On the asymptotic stability of discontinuous systems analysed via the averaging method

The averaging method is one of the most powerful methods used to analyse differential equations appearing in the study of nonlinear problems. The idea behind the averaging method is to replace the original equation by an averaged equation with simple structure and close solutions. A large number of practical problems lead to differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides. In a rigorous theory of such systems, developed by Filippov, solutions of a differential equation with discontinuous right-hand side are regarded as being solutions to a special differential inclusion with upper semi-continuous right-hand side. The averaging method was studied for such inclusions by many authors using different and rather restrictive conditions on the regularity of the averaged inclusion. In this paper we prove natural extensions of Bogolyubov’s first theorem and the Samoilenko-Stanzhitskii theorem to differential inclusions with an upper semi-continuous right-hand side. We prove that the solution set of the original differential inclusion is contained in a neighbourhood of the solution set of the averaged one. The extension of Bogolyubov’s theorem concerns finite time intervals, while the extension of the Samoilenko-Stanzhitskii theorem deals with solutions defined on the infinite interval. The averaged inclusion is defined as a special upper limit and no additional condition on its regularity is required.     

Non-periodic averaging principles for measure functional differential equations and functional dynamic equations on time scales involving impulses

We present a non-periodic averaging principle for measure functional differential equations and, using the correspondence between solutions of measure functional differential equations and solutions of functional dynamic equations on time scales (see Federson et al., 2012 [8]), we obtain a non-periodic averaging result for functional dynamic equations on time scales. Moreover, using the relation between measure functional differential equations and impulsive measure functional differential equations, we get a non-periodic averaging theorem for these equations. Also, it is a known fact that we can relate impulsive measure functional differential equations and impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales (see Federson et al., 2013 [9]). Therefore, applying this correspondence to our averaging principle, we obtain a non-periodic averaging theorem for impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales.

New results on averaging theory and applications

The usual averaging theory reduces the computation of some periodic solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations, to find the simple zeros of an associated averaged function. When one of these zeros is not simple, i.e., the Jacobian of the averaged function in it is zero, the classical averaging theory does not provide information about the periodic solution associated to a non-simple zero. Here we provide sufficient conditions in order that the averaging theory can be applied also to non-simple zeros for studying their associated periodic solutions. Additionally, we do two applications of this new result for studying the zero–Hopf bifurcation in the Lorenz system and in the Fitzhugh–Nagumo system.     

The Averaging Principle for Stochastic Fractional Partial Differential Equations with Fractional Noises

The purpose of this paper is to establish an averaging principle for stochastic fractional partial differential equation of order α > 1 driven by a fractional noise. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the global mild solution for the considered equation by the fixed point principle. The solutions for SPDEs with fractional noises can be approximated by the solution for the averaged stochastic systems in the sense of p-moment under some suitable assumptions.     

On the averaging method for rod equations with quadratic non-linearity

The averaging method is used to approximate solutions of systems of linearly coupled, (quadratic) non-linear dispersive wave equations, which describe extensional–torsional dynamics of a rod. Existence and uniqueness results are established. Error estimates confirm the asymptotic validity of the approximation method on a long time-scale. The linear couplings between the equations imply that resonance can occur inside a single mode of the solution, but energy can also be transferred to other modes.     

Boundary-value problems with parameters for a multifrequency oscillation system

By using the averaging method, we prove the solvability of boundary-value problems with parameters for nonlinear oscillation systems. We obtain estimates for the deviation of solutions of averaged problems from solutions of original problems.     

A method of investigating weakly non-linear interaction between one-dimensional waves

A method of constructing asymptotic approximations of wide classes of solutions of weakly non-linear systems is proposed based on the averaging scheme developed in /1–3/.^****See also: Krylov A.V. and Shtaras A.L. Internal averaging of multidimensional weakly non-linear systems along characteristics, Dep. in LitNIINTI, 10.11.86, No.1750, 1986). The method enables one to obtain the conditions for the asymptotic decay of systems described by the Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries and similar scalar equations, and also enables one to investigate problems in which this decay does not occur. As an example we investigate the propagation of perturbations in an elastic non-uniform tube. The interaction between two waves is considered and the conditions for resonance are obtained.     

Application of the Averaging Method to the Investigation of Nonlinear Wave Processes in Elastic Systems with Circular Symmetry

We apply asymptotic methods of nonlinear mechanics (the Bogolyubov–Mitropol'skii averaging method) to the construction of approximate solutions of a system of nonlinear equations describing wave processes in elastic systems with circular symmetry. As an example, we study the dynamics of interaction of two flexural waves that propagate in a cylindrical shell under the conditions of free oscillations and periodic excitation.

Radial stability of periodic orbits of damped Keplerian-like systems

In this paper, by using the third order approximation method, the averaging method and the theory of upper and lower solutions, we study the existence and radial stability of periodic orbits of damped Keplerian-like systems. Two different results are obtained: perturbative and global results. Our results are also applicable to the classical Keplerian-like systems.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions of Equations of Main Resonance

We investigate a system of two first-order differential equations that appears when averaging nonlinear systems over fast one-frequency oscillations. The main result is the asymptotic behavior of a two-parameter family of solutions with an infinitely growing amplitude. In addition, we find the asymptotic behavior of another two-parameter family of solutions with a bounded amplitude. In particular, these results provide the key to understanding autoresonance as the phenomenon of a considerable growth of forced nonlinear oscillations initiated by a small external pumping.     

Averaging of Boundary-Value Problems with Parameters for Multifrequency Impulsive Systems

By using the averaging method, we prove the solvability of boundary-value problems with parameters for nonlinear oscillating systems with pulse influence at fixed times. We also obtain estimates for the deviation of solutions of the averaged problem from solutions of the original problem.     

Normalization in Lie algebras via mould calculus and applications

We establish Écalle’s mould calculus in an abstract Lie-theoretic setting and use it to solve a normalization problem, which covers several formal normal form problems in the theory of dynamical systems. The mould formalism allows us to reduce the Lie-theoretic problem to a mould equation, the solutions of which are remarkably explicit and can be fully described by means of a gauge transformation group. The dynamical applications include the construction of Poincaré–Dulac formal normal forms for a vector field around an equilibrium point, a formal infinite-order multiphase averaging procedure for vector fields with fast angular variables (Hamiltonian or not), or the construction of Birkhoff normal forms both in classical and quantum situations. As a by-product we obtain, in the case of harmonic oscillators, the convergence of the quantum Birkhoff form to the classical one, without any Diophantine hypothesis on the frequencies of the unperturbed Hamiltonians.     

Averaging method in some problems of the theory of nonlinear oscillations

Bifurcations of autoresonant modes in oscillating systems with combined excitation

A mathematical model describing the capture of nonlinear systems into the autoresonance by a combined parametric and external periodic slowly varying perturbation is considered. The autoresonance phenomenon is associated with solutions having an unboundedly growing amplitude and a limited phase mismatch. The paper investigates the behavior of such solutions when the parameters of the excitation take bifurcation values. In particular, the stability of different autoresonant modes is analyzed and the asymptotic approximations of autoresonant solutions on asymptotically long time intervals are proposed by a modified averaging method with using the constructed Lyapunov functions.     

Asymptotic integration of functional differential systems with oscillatory decreasing coefficients

We use the method of averaging and the extension of the Levinson fundamental theorem to study the problem of asymptotic integration of a class of linear functional differential systems that contain oscillatory decreasing coefficients. Moreover, we construct the asymptotics for solutions of the second order delay differential equation that is close, in some sense, to harmonic oscillator.     

Microlocal defect measures

In order to study weak continuity of quadratic forms on spaces of L² solutions of systems of partial differential equations, we define defect measures on the space of positions and frequencies.A systematic use of these measures leads in particular to a compensated compactness theorem, generalizing MURAT"TARTAR's compensated compactness to variable coefficients and GOLSE"LIONS"PERTHAME"SENTIS's averaging lemma. We also obtain results on homogenization for differential operators of order I with oscillating coefficients.     

Stochastic response of a class of self-excited systems with Caputo-type fractional derivative driven by Gaussian white noise

The stochastic response of a class of self-excited systems with Caputo-type fractional derivative driven by Gaussian white noise is considered. Firstly, the generalized harmonic function technique is applied to the fractional self-excited systems. Based on this approach, the original fractional self-excited systems are reduced to equivalent stochastic systems without fractional derivative. Then, the analytical solutions of the equivalent stochastic systems are obtained by using the stochastic averaging method. Finally, in order to verify the theoretical results, the two most typical self-excited systems with fractional derivative, namely the fractional van der Pol oscillator and fractional Rayleigh oscillator, are discussed in detail. Comparing the analytical and numerical results, a very satisfactory agreement can be found. Meanwhile, the effects of the fractional order, the fractional coefficient, and the intensity of Gaussian white noise on the self-excited fractional systems are also discussed in detail.
