Isochronicity conditions for a center and a focus in polar coordinates

We suggest a new approach to the study of isochronicity of systems with polynomial right-hand sides and with a center or a focus at the singular point O(0, 0) by using the normal form dr/dt = R(r, φ), dφ/dt = 1 in polar coordinates. We represent formulas for the computation of necessary and sufficient conditions for the isochronicity of a center or focus of a system with homogeneous nonlinearities. We show that a system with homogeneous nonlinearities of odd degree can have only strong isochronicity at the singular point O(0, 0); moreover, in the case of a center, isochronicity is strong with respect to any line passing through the origin. The Cauchy-Riemann isochronicity criterion is generalized to a system with homogeneous nonlinearities.     

Isochronicity Problem of Higher-Order Singular Point for Polynomial Differential Systems

Due to the difficulty, the isochronicity problems with respect to higher-order singular point (or degenerate singular point) of polynomial differential systems are far from being solved. The calculation of period constants is an effective way to find necessary conditions for isochronicity. In this paper, by means of a homeomorphic transformation, higher-order singular point is transferred into the origin. At the same time, a new recursive algorithm to compute period constants at the origin of the transformed system is deduced which is easy to realize with the computer algebraic system such as MATHEMATICA or MAPLE. Finally, to illustrate the effectiveness of our algorithm, the pseudo-isochronous center conditions of higher-order singular point for a class of septic system are investigated. Our work is new in terms of research about the isochronicity problem of higher-order singular point and consists of the existing results related to the origin as a special case when it is an elementary singular point.

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.     

Isochronicity at infinity for a class of polynomial differential system

In this paper, we explore the problem of isochronicity at infinity for a class of polynomial differential system. The technique is based on taking infinity into the origin by means of a homeomorphism. Simultaneously, we derive a recursive algorithm to compute period constants at the origin of the transformed system. At the end, as an application of our algorithm, we study pseudo-isochronous center conditions at infinity for a class of septic system.     

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.     

Two inverse problems for analytic potential systems

In this paper, we solve a basic problem about the existence of an analytic potential with a prescribed period function. As an application, it is shown how to extend to the whole phase plane an arbitrary potential defined on a semiplane in order to get isochronicity.     

Isochronicity for a class of reversible systems

This paper deals with the relation between isochronicity and first integral for a class of reversible systems: , , which associates to the first integral of the form H(x,y)=F(x)y²+G(x). Two necessary and sufficient conditions are given to characterize isochronicity for these systems. Moreover, we apply these results to show that there exists a class of polynomial reversible systems of degree n with isochronous center for any n.     

Bifurcation and Isochronicity at Infinity in a Class of Cubic Polynomial Vector Fields

In this paper, we study the appearance of limit cycles from the equator and isochronicity of infinity in polynomial vector fields with no singular points at infinity. We give a recursive formula to compute the singular point quantities of a class of cubic polynomial systems, which is used to calculate the first seven singular point quantities. Further, we prove that such a cubic vector field can have maximal seven limit cycles in the neighborhood of infinity. We actually and construct a system that has seven limit cycles. The positions of these limit cycles can be given exactly without constructing the Poincare cycle fields. The technique employed in this work is essentially different from the previously widely used ones. Finally, the isochronous center conditions at infinity are given.     

First derivative of the period function with applications

Given a centre of a planar differential system, we extend the use of the Lie bracket to the determination of the monotonicity character of the period function. As far as we know, there are no general methods to study this function, and the use of commutators and Lie bracket was restricted to prove isochronicity. We give several examples and a special method which simplifies the computations when a first integral is known.     

Isochronous centers of polynomial Hamiltonian systems and a conjecture of Jarque and Villadelprat

We study the conjecture of Jarque and Villadelprat stating that every center of a planar polynomial Hamiltonian system of even degree is nonisochronous. This conjecture has already been proved for quadratic and quartic systems. Using the correction of a vector field to characterize isochronicity and explicit computations of this quantity for polynomial vector fields, we are able to describe a very large class of nonisochronous Hamiltonian systems of even arbitrarily large degree.

On the period function of x″+f(x)x′+g(x)=0

We study the period function T of a center O of the title's equation. A sufficient condition for the monotonicity of T, or for the isochronicity of O, is given. Such a condition is also necessary, when f and g are odd and analytic. In this case a characterization of isochronous centers is given. Some classes of plane systems equivalent to such equation are considered, including some Kukles’ systems.     

Isochronous systems and their quantization

We review recent results about classical isochronous systems characterized by the presence of an open (hence fully dimensional) region in their phase space in which all their solutions are completely periodic (i.e., periodic in all degrees of freedom) with the same fixed period (independent of the initial data provided they are inside the isochronicity region). We report a technique for generating such systems, whose wide applicability justifies the statement that isochronous systems are not rare. We also present an analogous technique applicable to a vast class of Hamiltonian systems and generating isochronous Hamiltonian systems. We also report some results concerning the quantized versions of such systems.     

Isochronicity conditions for some planar polynomial systems II

We study the isochronicity of centers at O∈R² for systems where A,B∈R[x,y], which can be reduced to the Liénard type equation. When deg(A)?4 and deg(B)?4, using the so-called C-algorithm we found 36 new multiparameter families of isochronous centers. For a large class of isochronous centers we provide an explicit general formula for linearization. This paper is a direct continuation of a previous one with the same title [Islam Boussaada, A. Raouf Chouikha, Jean-Marie Strelcyn, Isochronicity conditions for some planar polynomial systems, Bull. Sci. Math. 135 (1) (2011) 89–112], but it can be read independently.
