On the monotonicity criteria of the period function of potential systems
The purpose of this paper is to study various monotonicity conditions of the
period function (energy-dependent) for potential systems with a center at the origin 0. We had before identified a family of new
criteria noted by which are sometimes thinner than those previously
known ({\it Period function and characterizations of Isochronous
potentials}\quad arXiv:1109.4611). This fact will be illustrated by examples.Comment: 9 page

Period function and characterizations of Isochronous potentials
We are interested at first in the study of the monotonicity for the period
function of the conservative equation \ \quad
Some refinements of known criteria are brought. Moreover, we give necessary and
sufficient conditions so that the analytic potential of equation is
isochronous. These conditions which are different from those introduced firstly
by Koukles and Piskounov and thereafter by Urabe appear sometime to be easier
to use. We then apply these results to produce families of isochronous
potentials depending on many parameters, some of them are news. Moreover,
analytic isochronicity requirements of parametrized potentials will also be
consideredComment: 30 page

Finite aperture Fraunhofer holograms of two co-planar discs
In this paper we present a theoretical model describing the real images replayed from finite aperture Fraunhofer holograms of two identical co-planar objects. We have solved numerically the resulting image equations for the case of two circular disc objects, and compare our predictions with experimental measurements from in-line Fraunhofer holograms recorded on silver-halide emulsions. Three measurement criteria for calculating the disc diameters and separation are described, and their errors discussed. It is found experimentally that a criterion based on average intensity results in the smallest errors due to its insensitivity to the effects of coherent noise
On the period function of Newtonian systems
We study the existence of centers of planar autonomous system of the form
We are interested in the period function around a center 0. A sufficient
condition for the isochronicity of (S) at 0 is given. Such a condition is also
necessary when are analytic functions. In that case a characterization
of isochronous centers of system (S) is given. Some applications will be
derived. In particular, new families of isochronous centers will be describedComment: 16 page
