Liouvillian first integrals of quadratic-linear polynomial differential systems

For a large class of quadratic-linear polynomial differential systems with a unique singular point at the origin having non-zero eigenvalues, we classify the ones which have a Liouvillian first integral, and we provide the explicit expression of them.     

Integrability and solvability of polynomial Liénard differential systems

We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions of Liouvillian integrability for Liénard differential systems describing nonlinear oscillators with a polynomial damping and a polynomial restoring force. We prove that Liénard differential systems are not Darboux integrable excluding subfamilies with certain restrictions on the degrees of the polynomials arising in the systems. We demonstrate that if the degree of a polynomial responsible for the restoring force is greater than the degree of a polynomial producing the damping, then a generic Liénard differential system is not Liouvillian integrable with the exception of linear Liénard systems. However, for any fixed degrees of the polynomials describing the damping and the restoring force we present subfamilies possessing Liouvillian first integrals. As a by-product of our results, we find a number of novel Liouvillian integrable subfamilies. In addition, we study the existence of nonautonomous Darboux first integrals and nonautonomous Jacobi last multipliers with a time-dependent exponential factor.     

Darboux integrability of a Mathieu-van der Pol-Duffing oscillator

In this paper, we characterize all the Darboux polynomials of a Mathieu-van der Pol-Duffing oscillator by transforming from the original system into a three dimensional system. We also provide a complete classification of the rational first integrals and of the Darboux first integrals through the analysis of its Darboux polynomials and its exponential factors.     

Algebraic aspects of integrability for polynomial differential systems

In this article we summarize the results on algebraic aspects of integrability for polynomial differential systems and its application, which include the Darboux, elementary and Liouvelle integrability. Darboux theory of integrability was found by Darboux in 1878, and it becomes extremely useful in study of the center focus problem, of bifurcation, of limit cycle problem and of global dynamics. The importance of Darboux theory of integrability is also presented by the Singer's theorem for planar polynomial differential system. That is, if a polynomial system is Liouville integrable, then it is Darboux integrable, i.e. the system has a Darboux first integral or a Darboux integrating factor.     

Integrability of a SIS model

We prove that the classical model of an infectious disseise, which never kills and which does not induce autoimmunity, is integrable. This model can be written as x^′=−bxy−mx+cy+mk, y^′=bxy−(m+c)y with parameters b,c,k,m∈R. We provide the explicit expression of its first integrals and of the set of all its invariant algebraic curves.     

Darboux integrability and algebraic limit cycles for a class of polynomial differential systems

This paper deals with the existence of Darboux first integrals for the planar polynomial differential systems x=x-y+P n+1(x,y)+xF2n(x,y),y=x+y+Q n+1(x,y)+yF2n(x,y),where P i(x,y),Q i(x,y)and F i(x,y)are homogeneous polynomials of degree i.Within this class,we identify some new Darboux integrable systems having either a focus or a center at the origin.For such Darboux integrable systems having degrees 5and 9 we give the explicit expressions of their algebraic limit cycles.For the systems having degrees 3,5,7 and 9and restricted to a certain subclass we present necessary and sufficient conditions for being Darboux integrable.     

General Approach to Integrating Invertible Dynamical Systems Defined by Transformations from the Cremona group Cr(P k n ) of Birational Transformations

A general approach is developed for integrating an invertible dynamical system defined by the composition of two involutions, i.e., a nonlinear one which is a standard Cremona transformation, and a linear one. By the Noether theorem, the integration of these systems is the foundation for integrating a broad class of Cremona dynamical systems. We obtain a functional equation for invariant homogeneous polynomials and sufficient conditions for the algebraic integrability of the systems under consideration. It is proved that Siegel's linearization theorem is applicable if the eigenvalues of the map at a fixed point are algebraic numbers.     

On the differentiability of first integrals of two dimensional flows

By using techniques of differential geometry we answer the following open problem proposed by Chavarriga, Giacomini, Giné, and Llibre in 1999. For a given two dimensional flow, what is the maximal order of differentiability of a first integral on a canonical region in function of the order of differentiability of the flow? Moreover, we prove that for every planar polynomial differential system there exist finitely many invariant curves and singular points , such that has finitely many connected open components, and that on each of these connected sets the system has an analytic first integral. For a homogeneous polynomial differential system in , there exist finitely many invariant straight lines and invariant conical surfaces such that their complement in is the union of finitely many open connected components, and that on each of these connected open components the system has an analytic first integral.     

On the Invariant Fields and Rings of Some Groups of Polynomial Automorphisms

Abstract

We consider the group G of C-automorphisms of C(x, y) (resp. C[x, y]) generated by s, t such that t(x) = y, t(y) = x and s(x) = x, s(y) = ? y + u(x) where u ∈ C[x] is of degree k ≥ 2. Using Galois's theory, we show that the invariant field and the invariant algebra of G are equal to C.     

On global stability of the intra-host dynamics of malaria and the immune system

In this paper we consider an intra-host model for the dynamics of malaria. The model describes the dynamics of the blood stage malaria parasites and their interaction with host cells, in particular red blood cells (RBC) and immune effectors. We establish the equilibrium points of the system and analyze their stability using the theory of competitive systems, compound matrices and stability of periodic orbits. We established that the disease-free equilibrium is globally stable if and only if the basic reproduction number satisfies R₀?1 and the parasite will be cleared out of the host. If R₀>1, a unique endemic equilibrium is globally stable and the parasites persist at the endemic steady state. In the presence of the immune response, the numerical analysis of the model shows that the endemic equilibrium is unstable.     

On the nonexistence of rational first integrals for nonlinear systems and semiquasihomogeneous systems

In this paper we first give a necessary condition for general nonlinear systems to have rational first integrals. Then by using the so-called Kowalevsky exponents we present a criterion for nonexistence of rational first integrals for semiquasihomogeneous systems.     

On the Extrapolation of Perturbation Series

We discuss certain special cases of algebraic approximants that are given as zeroes of so-called effective characteristic polynomials and their generalization to a multiseries setting. These approximants are useful for the convergence acceleration or summation of quantum mechanical perturbation series. Examples are given and some properties discussed.     

Effect of the phase on the dynamics of a perturbed bouncing ball system

The phase control method is a non-feedback control technique which has been used for different purposes in continuous periodically driven dynamical systems. One of the main goals of this paper is to apply this control technique to the bouncing ball system, which can be seen as a paradigmatic periodically driven discrete dynamical system, and has a rather simple physical interpretation. The main idea is to apply a periodic control signal including a phase difference with respect to the periodic forcing of the initial system and to analyze its effect on the dynamics of the bouncing ball system. The numerical simulations we have carried out clearly show the strong effect of the phase of the control signal in suppressing or generating chaotic behavior and in changing the period of a periodic orbit. We have also analyzed the effect of the phase in the phenomenon of the crisis-induced intermittency, showing how the phase enhances the size of the attractor near a crisis and can induce the intermittent behavior. Finally we have analyzed the scaling behavior of the crisis by varying the phase difference between the perturbation and the external forcing.

A numerical scheme for solutions of the Chen system

In this paper, we will develop the Bessel collocation method to find approximate solutions of the Chen system, which is a three‐dimensional system of ODEs with quadratic nonlinearities. This scheme consists of reducing the problem to a nonlinear algebraic equation system by expanding the approximate solutions by means of the Bessel polynomials with unknown coefficients. By help of the collocation points and the matrix operations of derivatives, the unknown coefficients of the Bessel polynomials are calculated. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated by two numerical examples and performed with the aid of a computer code written in MAPLE. In addition, comparisons between our method and the homotopy perturbation method numerical solutions are made with the accuracy of solutions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
