Limit cycles of quadratic systems

In this paper, the global qualitative analysis of planar quadratic dynamical systems is established and a new geometric approach to solving Hilbert’s Sixteenth Problem in this special case of polynomial systems is suggested. Using geometric properties of four field rotation parameters of a new canonical system which is constructed in this paper, we present a proof of our earlier conjecture that the maximum number of limit cycles in a quadratic system is equal to four and their only possible distribution is (3:1) [V.A. Gaiko, Global Bifurcation Theory and Hilbert’s Sixteenth Problem, Kluwer, Boston, 2003]. Besides, applying the Wintner–Perko termination principle for multiple limit cycles to our canonical system, we prove in a different way that a quadratic system has at most three limit cycles around a singular point (focus) and give another proof of the same conjecture.

Jahn-Teller distortion motions as separatrices in PES

The topology of the pattern of intrinsic reaction coordinates and separatrices is investigated for 6-electron sigmatropic pericyclic rearrangements.It is demonstrated that the trajectories of nuclear motion involving HOMO-LUMO crossing are the separatrices of the basins of the chemical species involved. The special case of the Diels-Alder cycloaddition is analyzed.

A universal separatrix map for weak interactions of solitary waves in generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations

It is known that weak interactions of two solitary waves in generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations exhibit fractal dependence on initial conditions, and the dynamics of these interactions is governed by a universal two-degree-of-freedom ODE system [Y. Zhu J. Yang, Universal fractal structures in the weak interaction of solitary waves in generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations, Phys. Rev. E 75 (2007) 036605]. In this paper, this ODE system is analyzed comprehensively. Using asymptotic methods along separatrix orbits, a simple second-order map is derived. This map does not have any free parameters after variable rescalings, and thus is universal for all weak interactions of solitary waves in generalized NLS equations. Comparison between this map’s predictions and direct simulations of the ODE system shows that the map can capture the fractal-scattering phenomenon of the ODE system very well both qualitatively and quantitatively.
