An iterative starting method to control parasitism for the Leapfrog method

The Leapfrog method is a time-symmetric multistep method, widely used to solve the Euler equations and other Hamiltonian systems, due to its low cost and geometric properties. A drawback with Leapfrog is that it suffers from parasitism. This paper describes an iterative starting method, which may be used to reduce to machine precision the size of the parasitic components in the numerical solution at the start of the computation. The severity of parasitic growth is also a function of the differential equation, the main method and the time-step. When the tendency to parasitic growth is relatively mild, computational results indicate that using this iterative starting method may significantly increase the time-scale over which parasitic effects remain acceptably small. Using an iterative starting method, Leapfrog is applied to the cubic Schrödinger equation. The computational results show that the Hamiltonian and soliton behaviour are well-preserved over long time-scales.     

Twelve limit cycles around a singular point in a planar cubic-degree polynomial system

In this paper, we prove the existence of 12 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point in a planar cubic-degree polynomial system. Based on two previously developed cubic systems in the literature, which have been proved to exhibit 11 small-amplitude limit cycles, we applied a different method to show 11 limit cycles. Moreover, we show that one of the systems can actually have 12 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point. This is the best result so far obtained in cubic planar vector fields around a singular point.     

Tame kernels of cubic cyclic fields

There are many results describing the structure of the tame kernels of algebraic number fields and relating them to the class numbers of appropriate fields. In the present paper we give some explicit results on tame kernels of cubic cyclic fields. Table 1 collects the results of computations of the structure of the tame kernel for all cubic fields with only one ramified prime

In particular, we investigate the structure of the 7-primary and 13-primary parts of the tame kernels. The theoretical tools we develop, based on reflection theorems and singular primary units, enable the determination of the structure even of 7-primary and 13-primary parts of the tame kernels for all fields as above. The results are given in Tables 2 and 3.

     

A categorical invariant for cubic threefolds

We prove a categorical version of the Torelli theorem for cubic threefolds. More precisely, we show that the non-trivial part of a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of a cubic threefold characterizes its isomorphism class.     

Integral closure of a cubic extension and applications

In this paper, we compute the integral closure of a cubic extension over a Noetherian unique factorization domain. We also present some applications to triple coverings and to rank two reflexive sheaves over an algebraic variety.

     

Cubic Diophantine Inequalities

Let λ₁, λ₂,..., λ₇ be real numbers satisfying λ _i ≥ 1. In this paper, we prove there are integers x ₁,..., x ₇ such that the inequalities |λ₁ x ³ ₁ + λ₂ x ³ ₂ + ⋯ + λ₇ x ³ ₇| < 1 and hold simultaneously. Received November 18, 1997, Accepted October 23, 1998     

Global Bifurcation of a Perturbed Double-Homoclinic Loop

This paper deals with a kind of fourth degree systems with perturbations. By using the method of multi-parameter perturbation theory and qualitative analysis, it is proved that the system can have six limit cycles.
