Stability of certain planar unbounded polycycles

We study the stability of a type of unbounded polycycles which appear in some planar differential equations. Each of these polycycles has hyperbolic corners, but the product of the hyperbolicity ratios of all its corners does not decide its stability. We obtain an explicit convergent integral whose sign gives the stability of the polycycle.     

On the return time function around monodromic polycycles

In this paper we study the period function of centers of planar polynomial differential systems. With a convenient compactification of the phase portrait, the boundary of the period annulus of the center has two connected components: the center itself and a polycycle. We are interested in the behaviour of the period function near the polycycle. The desingularization of its critical points gives rise to a new polycycle (monodromic as well) with hyperbolic saddles or saddle-nodes at the vertices. In this paper we compute the first terms in the asymptotic development of the time function around any orbitally linearizable saddle that may come from this desingularization process. In addition, we use these developments to study the bifurcation diagram of the period function of the dehomogenized Loud's centers. More generally, the tools developed here can be used to study the return time function around a monodromic polycycle. This work is a continuation of the results in [P. Mardeši?, D. Marín, J. Villadelprat, On the time function of the Dulac map for families of meromorphic vector fields, Nonlinearity 16 (2003) 855-881; P. Mardeši?, D. Marín, J. Villadelprat, The period function of reversible quadratic centers, J. Differential Equations 224 (2006) 120-171].     

Cyclicity of a kind of degenerate polycycles through three singular points

This paper deals with the cyclicity of a kind of degenerate planar polycycles through a saddle-node P0 and two hyperbolic saddles P1 and P2, where the hyperbolicity ratio of the saddle P1 (which connects the saddle-node with hh-connection) is equal to 1 and that of the other saddle P2 is irrational. It is assumed that the connections between P0 to P2 and P0 to P1 keep unbroken. Then the cyclicity of this kind of polycycle is no more than m 3 if the saddle P1 is of order m and the hyperbolicity ratio of P2 is bigger than m. Furthermore, the cyclicity of this polycycle is no more than 7 if the saddle P1 is of order 2 and the hyperbolicity ratio of P2 is located in the interval (1,2).     

A criticality result for polycycles in a family of quadratic reversible centers

We consider the family of dehomogenized Loud's centers $X_{\mu }=y(x?1){?}_x+(x+D{x}^2+F{y}^2){?}_y$, where $\mu =(D,F)\in {\mathbb{R}}^2$, and we study the number of critical periodic orbits that emerge or disappear from the polycycle at the boundary of the period annulus. This number is defined exactly the same way as the well-known notion of cyclicity of a limit periodic set and we call it criticality. The previous results on the issue for the family $\{X_{\mu },\mu \in {\mathbb{R}}^2\}$ distinguish between parameters with criticality equal to zero (regular parameters) and those with criticality greater than zero (bifurcation parameters). A challenging problem not tackled so far is the computation of the criticality of the bifurcation parameters, which form a set ${\mathrm{\Gamma }}_B$ of codimension 1 in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. In the present paper we succeed in proving that a subset of ${\mathrm{\Gamma }}_B$ has criticality equal to one.     

Chaotic unbounded differentiation operators

We construct dense sets of hypercyclic vectors for unbounded differention operators, including differentiation operators on the Hardy spaceH ₂, and the Laplacian operator onL ₂((), for any bounded open subset of ². Furthermore, we show that these operators are chaotic, in the sense of Devaney.     

On unbounded probability theory

The value of the empirical expectation coincides with that of the mean energy of an ideal Bose gas for one particle. The exact mathematical identity for these quantities makes it possible to carry over the concept of temperature corresponding to the mean energy to an unboundedly increasing sequence of random values for a new unbounded probability theory and for a generalization of Kolmogorov complexity theory. The notion of spectral gap, which was introduced in superconductivity theory, is carried over to unbounded probability theory.     

On unbounded Bergman operators

This paper explores properties of the Bergman operator on unbounded open subsets of the plane. In addition to the characterization of the bounded commutant of such operators it proves the Berger-Shaw theorem and gives some general criteria under which the operator and its self-commutator are densely defined.     

Regular unbounded set functions

Set functions which are unbounded on an algebra of sets arise naturally by taking the products of bounded operators and spectral measures acting on a space of square integrable functions. The purpose of this note is to show that, provided a certain regularity condition is satisfied, there is a natural integration structure associated with such a set function and an auxiliary measure, so providing a complete space of integrable functions. Several examples illustrate the extent and limitations of the approach.     

On unbounded subnormal operators

A minimal normal extension of unbounded subnormal operators is established and characterized and spectral inclusion theorem is proved. An inverse Cayley transform is constructed to obtain a closed unbounded subnormal operator from a bounded one. Two classes of unbounded subnormals viz analytic Toeplitz operators and Bergman operators are exhibited.     

Ill-posed problems with unbounded operators

Let A be a linear, closed, densely defined unbounded operator in a Hilbert space. Assume that A is not boundedly invertible. If Eq. (1) Au=f is solvable, and ‖fδ−f‖?δ, then the following results are provided: Problem Fδ(u):=‖Au−fδ^‖2+α‖u^‖2 has a unique global minimizer uα,δ for any fδ, uα,δ=A^*−1(AA^*+αI)fδ. There is a function α=α(δ), limδ→0α(δ)=0 such that limδ→0‖uα(δ),δ−y‖=0, where y is the unique minimal-norm solution to (1). A priori and a posteriori choices of α(δ) are given. Dynamical Systems Method (DSM) is justified for Eq. (1).     

Minimal functions with unbounded integral

We prove theorems which imply the following results. (1) “Most” almost periodic functionsb(t) with unbounded integral oscillate in a strong sense. (2) IfB is a continuous function on a minimal flow (Ω,R), then either the time averages all converge, or they diverge on a residual set.
