On the equivalence of singular point quantities and the integrability of a fine critical singular point

In this paper, the equivalence of singular point quantities and the integrability of a fine critical singular point are discussed. For an extensive class of complex autonomous differential systems, the theoretical basis for the methods of using formal series and integrating factors to calculate the singular point quantities for the origin (a fine critical singular point) and judge its integrability is obtained. Two recursion formulas, which are much simpler than focal values for computation because the operation is rational, for computing singular point quantities are introduced.

The data singular and the data isotropic loci for affine cones

The generic number of critical points of the Euclidean distance function from a data point to a variety is called the Euclidean distance degree (or ED degree). The two special loci of the data points where the number of critical points is smaller than the ED degree are called the Euclidean distance data singular locus and the Euclidean distance data isotropic locus. In this article, we present connections between these two special loci of an a?ne cone and its dual cone.     

Center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at degenerate singular points in a quintic polynomial differential system

The center problem and bifurcation of limit cycles for degenerate singular points are far to be solved in general. In this paper, we study center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the degenerate singular point in a class of quintic polynomial vector field with a small parameter and eight normal parameters. We deduce a recursion formula for singular point quantities at the degenerate singular points in this system and reach with relative ease an expression of the first five quantities at the degenerate singular point. The center conditions for the degenerate singular point of this system are derived. Consequently, we construct a quintic system, which can bifurcates 5 limit cycles in the neighborhood of the degenerate singular point. The positions of these limit cycles can be pointed out exactly without constructing Poincaré cycle fields. The technique employed in this work is essentially different from more usual ones. The recursion formula we present in this paper for the calculation of singular point quantities at degenerate singular point is linear and then avoids complex integrating operations.     

The Stokes phenomenon in the confluence of the hypergeometric equation using Riccati equation

In this paper we study the confluence of two regular singular points of the hypergeometric equation into an irregular one. We study the consequence of the divergence of solutions at the irregular singular point for the unfolded system. Our study covers a full neighborhood of the origin in the confluence parameter space. In particular, we show how the divergence of solutions at the irregular singular point explains the presence of logarithmic terms in the solutions at a regular singular point of the unfolded system. For this study, we consider values of the confluence parameter taken in two sectors covering the complex plane. In each sector, we study the monodromy of a first integral of a Riccati system related to the hypergeometric equation. Then, on each sector, we include the presence of logarithmic terms into a continuous phenomenon and view a Stokes multiplier related to a 1-summable solution as the limit of an obstruction that prevents a pair of eigenvectors of the monodromy operators, one at each singular point, to coincide.     

Data loci in algebraic optimization

We consider parametric optimization problems from an algebraic viewpoint. The idea is to find all of the critical points of an objective function thereby determining a global optimum. For generic parameters (data) in the objective function the number of critical points remains constant. This number is known as the algebraic degree of an optimization problem. In this article, we go further by considering the inverse problem of finding parameters of the objective function so it gives rise to critical points exhibiting a special structure. For example if the critical point is in the singular locus, has some symmetry, or satisfies some other algebraic property. Our main result is a theorem describing such parameters.

On a nonlinear elliptic problem with critical potential in R~2

Consider the existence of nontrivial solutions of homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation with the critical potential in R2. By establishing a weighted inequality with the best constant, determine the critical potential in R2, and study the eigenvalues of Laplace equation with the critical potential. By the Pohozaev identity of a solution with a singular point and the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem, obtain the nonexis tence result of solutions with singular points to the nonlinear elliptic equation. Moreover, for the same problem, the existence results of multiple solutions are proved by the mountain pass theorem.     

Computing eigenfunctions of singular points in nonlinear parametrized two-point BVPs

The iterative computation of singular points in parametrized nonlinear BVPs by so-called extended systems requires good starting values for the singular point itself and the corresponding eigenfunction. Using path-following techniques such starting values for the singular points should be generated automatically. However, path-following does not provide approximations for the eigenfunction if the singularity is a bifurcation point. We propose a new modification of this standard technique delivering such starting values. It is based on an extended system by which singular as well as nonsingular points can be determined.     

Theory of center-focus for a class of higher-degree critical points and infinite points

Wave Packet Critical Layers in Shear Flows

In the linear inviscid theory of shear flow stability, the eigenvalue problem for a neutral or weakly amplified mode revolves around possible discontinuities in the eigenfunction as the singular critical point is crossed. Extensions of the linear normal mode approach to include nonlinearity and/or wave packets lead to amplitude evolution equations where, again, critical point singularities are an issue because the coefficients of the amplitude equations generally involve singular integrals. In the past, viscosity, nonlinearity, or time dependence has been introduced in a critical layer centered upon the singular point to resolve these integrals. The form of the amplitude evolution equation is greatly influenced by which choice is made. In this paper, a new approach is proposed in which wave packet effects are dominant in the critical layer and it is argued that in many applications this is the appropriate choice. The theory is applied to two-dimensional wave propagation in homogeneous shear flows and also to stratified shear flows. Other generalizations are indicated.     

The Euclidean Distance Degree of an Algebraic Variety

The nearest point map of a real algebraic variety with respect to Euclidean distance is an algebraic function. For instance, for varieties of low-rank matrices, the Eckart–Young Theorem states that this map is given by the singular value decomposition. This article develops a theory of such nearest point maps from the perspective of computational algebraic geometry. The Euclidean distance degree of a variety is the number of critical points of the squared distance to a general point outside the variety. Focusing on varieties seen in applications, we present numerous tools for exact computations.

BIFURCATION OF SINGULAR POINTS NEAR A DOUBLE FOLD POINT INZ_2 -SYMMETRIC NONLINEAR EQUATIONS

We consider the bifurcation of singular points near a double fold point in Z2 -symmetric nonlinear equations with two parameters,where the linearization has a two dimensional null space spanned by a symmetric null vector and an ami-symmetric null vector. In particular, we show the existence of a turning point path and a pitchfork point path passing ihrough the double fold point and they are the only singular points nearby. Their nondegeneracy is confirmed. A supporting numerical example is also provided. The main tools for our analysis as well as the compulation are some extended systems.     

Three Dimensional Interface Problems for Elliptic Equations

The author studies the structure of solutions to the interface problems for second order linear elliptic partial differential equations in three space dimension.The set of singular points consists of some singular lines and some isolated singular points.It is proved that near a singular line or a singular point,each weak solution can be decomposed into two parts,a singular part and a regular part.The singular parts are some finite sum of particular solutions to some simpler equations,and the regular parts are bounded in some norms,which are slightly weaker than that in the Sobolev space H~2.

Non-uniformly expanding dynamics in maps with singularities and criticalities

We investigate a one-parameter family of interval maps arising in the study of the geometric Lorenz flow for non-classical parameter values. Our conclusion is that for all parameters in a set of positive Lebesgue measure the map has a positive Lyapunov exponent. Furthermore, this set of parameters has a density point which plays an important dynamic role. The presence of both singular and critical points introduces interesting dynamics, which have not yet been fully understood.
