Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of invariant algebraic curves
We present a set of conditions enabling a polynomial system of ordinary differential equations in the plane to have invariant algebraic curves. These conditions are necessary and sufficient. Our main tools include factorizations over the field of Puiseux series near infinity of bivariate polynomials generating invariant algebraic curves. The set of conditions can be algorithmically verified. This fact gives rise to a method, which is able not only to find some irreducible invariant algebraic curves, but also to perform their classification. We study in details the problem of classifying invariant algebraic curves in the most difficult case: we consider differential systems with infinite number of trajectories passing through infinity. As an example, we find necessary and sufficient conditions such that a general polynomial Liénard differential system has invariant algebraic curves. We present a set of all irreducible invariant algebraic curves for quintic Liénard differential systems with a linear damping function. It is supposed in scientific literature that the degrees of their irreducible invariant algebraic curves are bounded by 6. While we derive irreducible invariant algebraic curves of degree 9
Meromorphic exact solutions of the generalized Bretherton equation
The generalized Bretherton equation is studied. The classification of the
meromorphic traveling wave solutions for this equation is presented. All
possible exact solutions of the generalized Brethenton equation are given
Relations for zeros of special polynomials associated to the Painleve equations
A method for finding relations for the roots of polynomials is presented. Our
approach allows us to get a number of relations for the zeros of the classical
polynomials and for the roots of special polynomials associated with rational
solutions of the Painleve equations. We apply the method to obtain the
relations for the zeros of several polynomials. They are: the Laguerre
polynomials, the Yablonskii - Vorob'ev polynomials, the Umemura polynomials,
the Ohyama polynomials, the generalized Okamoto polynomials, and the
generalized Hermite polynomials. All the relations found can be considered as
analogues of generalized Stieltjes relations.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
