Estimating the number of limit cycles in polynomials systems

We describe a method based on algorithms of computational algebra for obtaining an upper bound for the number of limit cycles bifurcating from a center or a focus of polynomial vector field. We apply it to a cubic system depending on six parameters and prove that in the generic case at most six limit cycles can bifurcate from any center or focus at the origin of the system.     

Bifurcations of limit cycles from a quintic Hamiltonian system with a heteroclinic cycle

In this paper,we consider Li′enard systems of the form dx/dt=y,dy/dt=x+bx3-x5+ε(α+βx2+γx4)y,where b∈R,0|ε|1,(α,β,γ)∈D∈R3 and D is bounded.We prove that for |b|1(b0) the least upper bound of the number of isolated zeros of the related Abelian integrals I(h)=∮Γh(α+βx2+γx4)ydx is 2(counting the multiplicity) and this upper bound is a sharp one.     

The cyclicity of a cubic system with nonradical Bautin ideal

We present a method for investigating the cyclicity of an elementary focus or center of a polynomial system of differential equations by means of complexification of the system and application of algorithms of computational algebra, showing an approach to treating the case that the Bautin ideal B of focus quantities is not a radical ideal (more precisely, when the ideal BK is not radical, where BK is the ideal generated by the shortest initial string of focus quantities that, like the Bautin ideal, determines the center variety). We illustrate the method with a family of cubic systems.     

Classification of the centers, their cyclicity and isochronicity for the generalized quadratic polynomial differential systems

Bifurcation of 2-periodic orbits from non-hyperbolic fixed points

We introduce the concept of 2-cyclicity for families of one-dimensional maps with a non-hyperbolic fixed point by analogy to the cyclicity for families of planar vector fields with a weak focus. This new concept is useful in order to study the number of 2-periodic orbits that can bifurcate from the fixed point. As an application we study the 2-cyclicity of some natural families of polynomial maps.     

Cyclicity of Degenerate Polycycles Through a Saddle-Node and Two Hyperbolic Saddles

This paper deals with the cyclicity of a kind of degenerate planar polycycles through a saddle-node and two hyperbolic saddles, where the hyperbolicity ratio of the saddle （which connects the saddle-node with hp-connection） is equal to 1 and that of the other saddle is irrational. It is obtained that the cyclicity of this kind of polycycle is no more than 5 if the hp-connection keeps unbroken under the C^∞ perturbations.

Probabilistic temporal networks: A unified framework for reasoning with time and uncertainty

Complex real-world systems consist of collections of interacting processes/events. These processes change over time in response to both internal and external stimuli as well as to the passage of time itself. Many domains such as real-time systems diagnosis, story understanding, and financial forecasting require the capability to model complex systems under a unified framework to deal with both time and uncertainty. Current models for uncertainty and current models for time already provide rich languages to capture uncertainty and temporal information, respectively. Unfortunately, these semantics have made it extremely difficult to unify time and uncertainty in a way which cleanly and adequately models the problem domains at hand. Existing approaches suffer from significant trade offs between strong semantics for uncertainty and strong semantics for time. In this paper, we explore a new model, the Probabilistic Temporal Network (PTN), for representing temporal and atemporal information while fully embracing probabilistic semantics. The model allows representation of time constrained causality, of when and if events occur, and of the periodic and recurrent nature of processes.     

Radiative transfer in a two-dimensional rectangular annulus medium

The radiative transfer equation in a two-dimensional rectangular annulus medium is solved numerically. The numerical method is based on a finite difference scheme and a product quadrature discrete-ordinate scheme. The discretized equation of transfer is solved iteratively to give the radiation intensity. The medium is assumed to absorb, emit, and anisotropically scatter radiation. It is exposed to diffusely emitting and diffusely reflecting boundaries. The results of the total intensity for various radiative parameters are presented. The method can be modified easily to solve the rectangular medium without the annulus. Our results in this case compare very well with those of Crosbie et al. [1], Thynell et al. [2], and Wu [3].

Absolute cyclicity, Lyapunov quantities and center conditions

In this paper we consider analytic vector fields X₀ having a non-degenerate center point e. We estimate the maximum number of small amplitude limit cycles, i.e., limit cycles that arise after small perturbations of X₀ from e. When the perturbation (Xλ) is fixed, this number is referred to as the cyclicity of Xλ at e for λ near 0. In this paper, we study the so-called absolute cyclicity; i.e., an upper bound for the cyclicity of any perturbation Xλ for which the set defined by the center conditions is a fixed linear variety. It is known that the zero-set of the Lyapunov quantities correspond to the center conditions (Caubergh and Dumortier (2004) [6]). If the ideal generated by the Lyapunov quantities is regular, then the absolute cyclicity is the dimension of this so-called Lyapunov ideal minus 1. Here we study the absolute cyclicity in case that the Lyapunov ideal is not regular.
