Linear Estimation of the Number of Zeros of Abelian Integrals for Some Cubic Isochronous Centers

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part we study the relationship between conic centers (all orbits near a singular point of center type are conics) and isochronous centers of polynomial systems. In the second part we study the number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the periodic orbits of cubic reversible isochronous centers having all their orbits formed by conics, when we perturb such systems inside the class of all polynomial systems of degree n.     

Local bifurcation of critical periods in quadratic-like cubic systems

In this paper, we investigate quadratic-like cubic systems having a center at $O$ for the local bifurcation of critical periods. We provide an inductive algorithm to compute polynomials of periodic coefficients, find structures of solutions for systems of algebraic equations corresponding to weak centers of finite order, and derive conditions on parameters under which the considered equilibrium is a weak center of order $k$, $k=0,1,2,3,4$. Furthermore, we show that with appropriate perturbations, at most four critical periods bifurcate from the weak center of finite order, and we give conditions under which exactly $k$ critical periods bifurcate from the center $O$ for each integer $k=1,2,3,4$.     

Local bifurcations of critical periods for cubic Liénard equations with cubic damping

Continuing Chicone and Jacobs’ work for planar Hamiltonian systems of Newton’s type, in this paper we study the local bifurcation of critical periods near a nondegenerate center of the cubic Liénard equation with cubic damping and prove that at most 2 local critical periods can be produced from either a weak center of finite order or the linear isochronous center and that at most 1 local critical period can be produced from nonlinear isochronous centers.

Decomposition of algebraic sets and applications to weak centers of cubic systems

There are many methods such as Gröbner basis, characteristic set and resultant, in computing an algebraic set of a system of multivariate polynomials. The common difficulties come from the complexity of computation, singularity of the corresponding matrices and some unnecessary factors in successive computation. In this paper, we decompose algebraic sets, stratum by stratum, into a union of constructible sets with Sylvester resultants, so as to simplify the procedure of elimination. Applying this decomposition to systems of multivariate polynomials resulted from period constants of reversible cubic differential systems which possess a quadratic isochronous center, we determine the order of weak centers and discuss the bifurcation of critical periods.

The center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the infinity for a cubic polynomial system

In this paper, the problem of center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the infinity for a class of cubic systems are investigated. The method is based on a homeomorphic transformation of the infinity into the origin, the first 21 singular point quantities are obtained by computer algebra system Mathematica, the conditions of the origin to be a center and a 21st order fine focus are derived, respectively. Correspondingly, we construct a cubic system which can bifurcate seven limit cycles from the infinity by a small perturbation of parameters. At the end, we study the isochronous center conditions at the infinity for the cubic system.     

On persistent centers

For real planar autonomous analytic differential equations we introduce the notion of persistent center and show a list of equations with this property. We face the problem of whether our list is exhaustive or not and we prove that it is for several families of planar systems, like cubic or rigid systems.     

Isochronicity of centers in a switching Bautin system

In this paper isochronicity of centers is discussed for a class of discontinuous differential system, simply called switching system. We give some sufficient conditions for the system to have a regular isochronous center at the origin and, on the other hand, construct a switching system with an irregular isochronous center at the origin. We give a computation method for periods of periodic orbits near the center and use the method to discuss a switching Bautin system for center conditions and isochronous center conditions. We further find all of those systems which have an irregular isochronous center.     

Some conditions for a center of autonomous and nonautonomous systems

We give some conditions which imply that the origin is a center for polynomial two- dimensional systems. A related cubic nonautonomous equation is also considered.

Bifurcations of limit circles and center conditions for a class of non-analytic cubic Z 2 polynomial differential systems

In this paper, bifurcations of limit cycles at three fine focuses for a class of Z ₂-equivariant non-analytic cubic planar differential systems are studied. By a transformation, we first transform nonanalytic systems into analytic systems. Then sufficient and necessary conditions for critical points of the systems being centers are obtained. The fact that there exist 12 small amplitude limit cycles created from the critical points is also proved. Henceforth we give a lower bound of cyclicity of Z ₂-equivariant non-analytic cubic differential systems.     

The center conditions and local bifurcation of critical periods for a Liénard system

In this paper we study the problems of centers and isochronous centers and the local bifurcation of critical periods for a Liénard system with forth damping. Calculating the singular point values and period constants, we find all center conditions and isochronous center conditions. Moreover, the numbers of local critical periods bifurcating from centers and isochronous centers is obtained by computing the orders of weak centers.     

Isochronous centers of Lienard type equations and applications

In this work we study Eq. (E) with a center at 0 and investigate conditions of its isochronicity. When f and g are analytic (not necessary odd) a necessary and sufficient condition for the isochronicity of 0 is given. This approach allows us to present an algorithm for obtained conditions for a point of (E) to be an isochronous center. In particular, we find again by another way the isochrones of the quadratic Loud systems (LD,F). We also classify a 5-parameters family of reversible cubic systems with isochronous centers.     

Centers of quasi-homogeneous polynomial differential equations of degree three

We characterize the centers of the quasi-homogeneous planar polynomial differential systems of degree three. Such systems do not admit isochronous centers. At most one limit cycle can bifurcate from the periodic orbits of a center of a cubic homogeneous polynomial system using the averaging theory of first order.     

Nilpotent centers of cubic systems

We present an explicit form of cubic systems with a nilpotent singular point of the focus or center type at the origin. A method for finding the focus quantities of such systems is indicated. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a nilpotent center for cubic systems are given. Cubic systems reducible to the Li´enard system are studied in detail.     

Local bifurcations of critical periods in a generalized 2D LV system

In this paper, we investigate a generalized two-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system which has a center. We give an inductive algorithm to compute polynomials of periodic coefficients, find structures of solutions for systems of algebraic equation corresponding to isochronous centers and weak centers of finite order, and derive conditions on parameters under which the considered equilibrium is an isochronous center or a weak center of finite order. We show that with appropriate perturbations at most two critical periods bifurcate from the center.     

Linearizability conditions of a time-reversible quartic-like system

In this paper we study the linearizability problem of polynomial-like complex differential systems. We give a reduction of linearizability problem of such non-polynomial systems to the problem of polynomial systems. Applying this reduction, we find some linearizability conditions for a time-reversible quartic-like complex system and derive from them conditions of isochronous center for the corresponding real system.     

Structure of the Center of the Algebra of Invariant Differential Operators on Certain Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces

We study Duflo's conjecture on the isomorphism between the center of the algebra of invariant differential operators on a homogeneous space and the center of the associated Poisson algebra. For a rather wide class of Riemannian homogeneous spaces, which includes the class of (weakly) commutative spaces, we prove the "weakened version" of this conjecture. Namely, we prove that some localizations of the corresponding centers are isomorphic. For Riemannian homogeneous spaces of the form X = (H ⋌ N)/H, where N is a Heisenberg group, we prove Duflo's conjecture in its original form, i.e., without any localization.     

Necessary Optimality Conditions and New Optimization Methods for Cubic Polynomial Optimization Problems with Mixed Variables

Multivariate cubic polynomial optimization problems, as a special case of the general polynomial optimization, have a lot of practical applications in real world. In this paper, some necessary local optimality conditions and some necessary global optimality conditions for cubic polynomial optimization problems with mixed variables are established. Then some local optimization methods, including weakly local optimization methods for general problems with mixed variables and strongly local optimization methods for cubic polynomial optimization problems with mixed variables, are proposed by exploiting these necessary local optimality conditions and necessary global optimality conditions. A global optimization method is proposed for cubic polynomial optimization problems by combining these local optimization methods together with some auxiliary functions. Some numerical examples are also given to illustrate that these approaches are very efficient.
