Simultaneity of centres in Zq-equivariant systems

We study the simultaneous existence of centres for two families of planar Zq-equivariant systems. First, we give a short review about Zq-equivariant systems. Next, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for the simultaneous existence of centres for a Z2-equivariant cubic system and for a Z2- equivariant quintic system

Abelian Integral Method and its Application

Oscillation is a common natural phenomenon in real world problems. The most efficient mathematical models to describe these cyclic phenomena are based on dynamical systems. Exploring the periodic solutions is an important task in theoretical and practical studies of dynamical systems. Abelian integral is an integral of a polynomial differential 1-form over the real ovals of a polynomial Hamiltonian, which is a basic tool in complex algebraic geometry. In dynamical system theory, it is generalized to be a continuous function as a tool to study the periodic solutions in planar dynamical systems. The zeros of Abelian integral and their distributions provide the number of limit cycles and their locations. In this thesis, we apply the Abelian integral method to study the limit cycles bifurcating from the periodic annuli for some hyperelliptic Hamiltonian systems. For two kinds of quartic hyperelliptic Hamiltonian systems, the periodic annulus is bounded by either a homoclinic loop connecting a nilpotent saddle, or a heteroclinic loop connecting a nilpotent cusp to a hyperbolic saddle. For a quintic hyperelliptic Hamiltonian system, the periodic annulus is bounded by a more degenerate heteroclinic loop, which connects a nilpotent saddle to a hyperbolic saddle. We bound the number of zeros of the three associated Abelian integrals constructed on the periodic structure by employing the combination technique developed in this thesis and Chebyshev criteria. The exact bound for each system is obtained, which is three. Our results give answers to the open questions whether the sharp bound is three or four. We also study a quintic hyperelliptic Hamiltonian system with two periodic annuli bounded by a double homoclinic loop to a hyperbolic saddle, one of the periodic annuli surrounds a nilpotent center. On this type periodic annulus, the exact number of limit cycles via Poincar{\\u27e} bifurcation, which is one, is obtained by analyzing the monotonicity of the related Abelian integral ratios with the help of techniques in polynomial boundary theory. Our results give positive answers to the conjecture in a previous work. We also extend the methods of Abelian integrals to study the traveling waves in two weakly dissipative partial differential equations, which are a perturbed, generalized BBM equation and a cubic-quintic nonlinear, dissipative Schr\ {o}dinger equation. The dissipative PDEs are reduced to singularly perturbed ODE systems. On the associated critical manifold, the Abelian integrals are constructed globally on the periodic structure of the related Hamiltonians. The existence of solitary, kink and periodic waves and their coexistence are established by tracking the vanishment of the Abelian integrals along the homoclinic loop, heteroclinic loop and periodic orbits. Our method is novel and easily applied to solve real problems compared to the variational analysis

An Algorithmic Approach to Limit Cycles of Nonlinear Differential Systems: the Averaging Method Revisited

This paper introduces an algorithmic approach to the analysis of bifurcation of limit cycles from the centers of nonlinear continuous differential systems via the averaging method. We develop three algorithms to implement the averaging method. The first algorithm allows to transform the considered differential systems to the normal formal of averaging. Here, we restricted the unperturbed term of the normal form of averaging to be identically zero. The second algorithm is used to derive the computational formulae of the averaged functions at any order. The third algorithm is based on the first two algorithms that determines the exact expressions of the averaged functions for the considered differential systems. The proposed approach is implemented in Maple and its effectiveness is shown by several examples. Moreover, we report some incorrect results in published papers on the averaging method.Comment: Proc. 44th ISSAC, July 15--18, 2019, Beijing, Chin

On the perturbations theory of the Duffing oscillator in a complex domain

La thèse concerne l'étude des cycles limites d'une équation différentielle sur le plan (la deuxième partie du 16ème problème de Hilbert). La notion de "cycle limite" a une grande importance dans la théorie de la stabilité, elle est introduite par Poincaré vers la fin du 19ème siècle et désigne une orbite périodique isolée. Le but de cette thèse est : d'établir l'existence d'une borne supérieure finie, pour le nombre de cycle limites d'une équation quadratique dans le plan. Ce problème est aussi appelé 16ème problème d' Hilbert infinitésimal. Probablement, l'outil le plus fondamental pour l'étude de la stabilité et les bifurcations des orbites périodiques est l'application de Poincaré, défini par Henri Poincaré en 1881. Cependant, la méthode de Melnikov nous donne une excellente procédure pour déterminer le nombre de cycles limites dans une bande continue de cycles qui sont préservés sous perturbation. En effet, le nombre, les positions et les multiplicités des équations différentielles planes perturbées avec une petite perturbation non nulle sont déterminées par le nombre, les positions et les multiplicités des zéros des fonctions génératrices. La fonction de Melnikov est plus précisément, appelé la fonction de Melnikov de premier- ordre. Si cette fonction est identiquement nulle à travers la bande continue de cycles, on calcule ce qu'on appelle " la fonction de Melnikov d'ordre supérieure ". Ensuite, une analyse d'ordre supérieure est nécessaire, ce qui peut être fait par " l'algorithme de Françoise. Les discussions et les calculs présentés dans notre travail sont limités non seulement à la fonction de Melnikov de premier ordre, mais aussi pour les fonctions de Melnikov de deuxième -ordre. Ces outils seront utiles pour résoudre notre problématique. Les activités de recherche menées dans le cadre de cette recherche sont divisées en quatre parties : La première partie de cette thèse, traite les systèmes dynamiques plans et l'existence de cycles limites. Nous souhaitons après résoudre le problème suivant: Calculer la cyclicité de l'oscillateur asymétrique perturbé de Duffing. Dans la deuxième partie, nous sommes intéressés de la cyclicité à l'extérieur de l'anneau périodique de l'oscillateur de Duffing pour une perturbation particulière, puis, nous fournissons un diagramme de bifurcation complet pour le nombre de zéros de la fonction de Melnikov associée dans un domaine complexe approprié en se basant sur le principe de l'argument. Le nombre de cette cyclicité est égal à trois. Dans la troisième partie, nous étudions la cyclicité à l'intérieur ainsi que à l'extérieur de double boucle homocline pour une perturbation cubique arbitraire de l'oscillateur de Duffing en utilisant les mêmes techniques de Iliev et Gavrilov dans le cas d'un Hamiltonien asymétrique de degré quatre. Notre principal résultat est que deux au plus cycle limite peuvent bifurquer de la double homocline. D'autre part, il est représenté, qu'après bifurcation de eight-loop un cycle limite étranger est née, qui ne soit pas contrôlée par un zéro lié par les intégrales Abéliennes, ce cycle supplémentaire est appelé " Alien ".This thesis concerns the study of limit cycles of a differential equation in the plane (The second part of the 16th Hilbert problem). The concept of "limit cycle" has a great importance in the theory of stability; Poincaré introduces this notion at the end of the 19th century and denotes an isolated periodic orbit. The purpose of this thesis: Find an upper bound finite to the number of limit cycles of a quadratic equation in the plane. This problem is so- called the infinitesimal Hilbert 16th problem. Probably, the most basic tool for studying the stability and bifurcations of periodic orbits is the Poincaré, defined by Henri Poincaré in 1881. However, Melnikov's method gives us an excellent method for determining the number of limit Cycles in a continuous band of cycles that are preserved under perturbation. In fact, the number, positions and multiplicities of perturbed planar differential equations for a small nonzero parameters, are determined by the number, positions and multiplicities of the zeros of the generating functions. The Melnikov function is more precisely, called the first-order Melnikov function. If this function is identically equal zero across the continuous band of cycles, one computes the so-called "Higher order Melnikov function". Then, a higher order analysis is necessary which can be done by making use of the so called "the algorithm of Françoise". The discussions and computation presented in this thesis are restricted not only to the first order Melnikov function, but also to the second-order Melnikov functions. These tools will be useful to resolve the question problem. The research activities in the framework of this thesis are divided into four parts: The first part of this thesis, discusses planar dynamical systems and the existence of limit cycles. We wish to solve the following problem: Calculate the cyclicity of the perturbed asymmetric oscillator Duffing. In the second part, we are interested of the cyclicity of the exterior period annulus of the asymmetrically perturbed Duffing oscillator for a particular perturbation, then, we provide a complete bifurcation diagram for the number of zeros of the associated Melnikov function in a suitable complex domain based on the argument principle. The number of this cyclicity is equal to three. In the third part, we study the cyclicity of the interior and exterior eight-loop especially for arbitrary cubic perturbations by using the same techniques of Iliev and Gavrilov in the case of an asymmetric Hamiltonian of degree four. Our main result is that at most two limit cycles can bifurcate from double homoclinic loop. On the other hand, it is appears after bifurcation of eight-loop an "Alien" limit was born, which is not covered by a zero of the related Abelian integrals

Bifurcation of critical periods of a quartic system

For the polynomial system x˙ = ix + xx¯(ax2 + bxx¯ + cx¯ 2 ) the study of critical period bifurcations is performed. Using calculations with algorithms of computational commutative algebra it is shown that at most two critical periods can bifurcate from any nonlinear center of the system

Dynamics of Patterns

Patterns and nonlinear waves arise in many applications. Mathematical descriptions and analyses draw from a variety of fields such as partial differential equations of various types, differential and difference equations on networks and lattices, multi-particle systems, time-delayed systems, and numerical analysis. This workshop brought together researchers from these diverse areas to bridge existing gaps and to facilitate interaction
