Invariant Algebraic Surfaces in Three Dimensional Vector Fields
File size reduced on 28.10.19 by LW (LED)This work is devoted to investigating the behaviour of invariant algebraic curves
for the two dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems and examining almost a geometrical
approach for finding invariant algebraic surfaces in three dimensional
Lotka-Volterra systems.
We consider the twenty three cases of invariant algebraic curves found in Ollagnier
(2001) of the two dimensional Lotka-Volterra system in the complex plane
and then we explain the geometric nature of
each curve, especially at the critical points of the mentioned system.
We also investigate the local integrability of two dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems
at its critical points using the monodromy method which we extend to use
the behaviour of some of the invariant algebraic curves mentioned above.
Finally, we investigate invariant algebraic surfaces in three dimensional Lotka-
Volterra systems by a geometrical method related with the intersection multiplicity of algebraic surfaces with the axes including the lines at infinity.
We will classify both linear and quadratic invariant algebraic surfaces under some
assumptions and commence a study of the cubic surfaces.MINISTRY OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, KURDISTAN REGION, IRA
Analytic and Algebraic Aspects of Integrability for First Order Partial Differential Equations
This work is devoted to investigating the algebraic and analytic integrability of first order
polynomial partial differential equations via an understanding of the well-developed area
of local and global integrability of polynomial vector fields.
In the view of characteristics method, the search of first integrals of the first order
partial differential equations
P(x,y,z)∂z(x,y)
∂x
+Q(x,y,z)∂z(x,y)
∂y
= R(x,y,z),
(1)
is equivalent to the search of first integrals of the system of the ordinary differential equations
dx/dt= P(x,y,z),
dy/dt= Q(x,y,z),
dz/dt= R(x,y,z).
(2)
The trajectories of (2) will be found by representing these trajectories as the intersection
of level surfaces of first integrals of (1).
We would like to investigate the integrability of the partial differential equation (1)
around a singularity. This is a case where understanding of ordinary differential equations
will help understanding of partial differential equations. Clearly, first integrals of the
partial differential equation (1), are first integrals of the ordinary differential equations
(2). So, if (2) has two first integrals φ1(x,y,z) =C1and φ2(x,y,z) =C2, where C1and C2
are constants, then the general solution of (1) is F(φ1,φ2) = 0, where F is an arbitrary
function of φ1and φ2.
We choose for our investigation a system with quadratic nonlinearities and such that
the axes planes are invariant for the characteristics: this gives three dimensional Lotka–
Volterra systems
x' =dx/dt= P = x(λ +ax+by+cz),
y' =dy/dt= Q = y(µ +dx+ey+ fz),
z' =dz/dt= R = z(ν +gx+hy+kz),
where λ,µ,ν 6= 0.

Several problems have been investigated in this work such as the study of local integrability and linearizability of three dimensional Lotka–Volterra equations with (λ:µ:ν)–resonance. More precisely, we give a complete set of necessary and sufficient conditions
for both integrability and linearizability for three dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems for
(1:−1:1), (2:−1:1) and (1:−2:1)–resonance. To prove their sufficiency, we mainly
use the method of Darboux with the existence of inverse Jacobi multipliers, and the linearizability of a node in two variables with power-series arguments in the third variable.
Also, more general three dimensional system have been investigated and necessary and
sufficient conditions are obtained. In another approach, we also consider the applicability of an entirely different method which based on the monodromy method to prove the sufficiency of integrability of these systems.
These investigations, in fact, mean that we generalized the classical centre-focus problem in two dimensional vector fields to three dimensional vector fields. In three dimensions, the possible mechanisms underling integrability are more difficult and computationally much harder.
We also give a generalization of Singer’s theorem about the existence of Liouvillian
first integrals in codimension 1 foliations in Cnas well as to three dimensional vector
fields.
Finally, we characterize the centres of the quasi-homogeneous planar polynomial differential systems of degree three. We show that at most one limit cycle can bifurcate
from the periodic orbits of a centre of a cubic homogeneous polynomial system using the
averaging theory of first order.Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research-Ira
HOPF BIFURCATION AND CENTRE BIFURCATION IN THREE DIMENSIONAL LOTKA-VOLTERRA SYSTEMS
This thesis presents a study of the centre bifurcation and chaotic behaviour of three dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems. In two dimensional systems, \citet{Christopher2005} considered a simple computational approach to estimate the cyclicity bifurcating from the centre. We generalized the technique to estimate the cyclicity of the centre in three dimensional systems. A lower bounds is given for the cyclicity of a hopf point in the three dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems via centre bifurcations. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a centre are obtained via the Darboux method using inverse Jacobi multiplier functions. For a given centre, the cyclicity is bounded from below by considering the linear parts of the corresponding Liapunov quantities of the perturbed system. Although the number obtained is not new, the technique is fast and can easily be adapted to other systems. The same technique is applied to estimate the cyclicity of a three dimensional system with a plane of singularities. As a result, eight limit cycles are shown to bifurcate from the centre by considering the quadratic parts of the corresponding Liapunov quantities of the perturbed system.
This thesis also examines the chaotic behaviour of three dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems. For studying the chaotic behaviour, a geometric method is used. We construct an example of a three dimensional Lotka-Volterra system with a saddle-focus critical point of Shilnikov type as well as a loop. A construction of the heteroclinic cycle that joins the critical point with two other critical points of type planar saddle and axial saddle is undertaken. Furthermore, the local behaviour of trajectories in a small neighbourhood of the critical points is investigated. The dynamics of the Poincare map around the heteroclinic cycle can exhibit chaos by demonstrating the existence of a horseshoe map. The proof uses a Shilnikov-type structure adapted to the geometry of these systems. For a good understanding of the global dynamics of the system, the behaviour at infinity is also examined. This helps us to draw the global phase portrait of the system.
The last part of this thesis is devoted to a study of the zero-Hopf bifurcation of the three dimensional Lotka-Volterra systems. Explicit conditions for the existence of two first integrals for the system and a line of singularity with zero eigenvalue are given. We characteristic the parameters for which a zero-Hopf equilibrium point takes place at any points on the line. We prove that there are three 3-parameter families exhibiting such equilibria. First order of averaging theory is also applied but we show that it gives no information about the possible periodic orbits bifurcating from the zero-Hopf equilibria.Kurdistan Regional Governmen
On integrability of Hirota-Kimura type discretizations
We give an overview of the integrability of the Hirota-Kimura discretization
method applied to algebraically completely integrable (a.c.i.) systems with
quadratic vector fields. Along with the description of the basic mechanism of
integrability (Hirota-Kimura bases), we provide the reader with a fairly
complete list of the currently available results for concrete a.c.i. systems.Comment: 47 pages, some minor change
On the global flow of a 3--dimensional Lotka--Volterra system
Agraïments: The first author is partially supported by the grant PROMEP/103.5/08/3189. The first three authors are partially supported by two CONACYT grants with numbers 58968 and 62613.In the study of the black holes with Higgs field appears in a natural way the Lotka-Volterra differential system x˙= x(y − 1), y˙= y(1 + y − 2x2 − z2), z˙= zy, in R3. Here we provide the qualitative analysis of the flow of this system describing the α-limit set and the ω-limit set of all orbits of this system in the whole Poincar'e ball, i.e. we identify R3 with the interior of the unit ball of R3 centered at the origin and we extend analytically this flow to its boundary, i.e. to the infinity
A Predator-Prey Model with Non-Monotonic Response Function
We study the dynamics of a family of planar vector fields that models certain populations of predators and their prey. This model is adapted from the standard Volterra-Lotka system by taking into account group defense, competition between prey and competition between predators. Also we initiate computer-assisted research on time-periodic perturbations, which model seasonal dependence. We are interested in persistent features. For the planar autonomous model this amounts to structurally stable phase portraits. We focus on the attractors, where it turns out that multi-stability occurs. Further, we study the bifurcations between the various domains of structural stability. It is possible to fix the values of two of the parameters and study the bifurcations in terms of the remaining three. We find several codimension 3 bifurcations that form organizing centers for the global bifurcation set. Studying the time-periodic system, our main interest is the chaotic dynamics. We plot several numerical examples of strange attractors

Itoh-Narita-Bogoyavlenskii lattice hierarchy. All these constraints can be
written in the form of discrete conservation law with appropriate
homogeneous polynomial discrete function .Comment: 15 page
