Quantitative Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations and Tangential Hilbert 16th Problem

چکیده
These highly informal lecture notes aim at introducing and explaining several closely related problems on zeros of analytic functions defined by ordinary differential equations and systems of such equations. The main incentive for this study was its potential application to the tangential Hilbert 16th problem on zeros of complete Abelian integrals. The exposition consists mostly of examples illustrating various phenomena related to this problem. Sometimes these examples give an insight concerning the proofs, though the complete exposition of the latter is mostly relegated to separate expositions. Lecture 1. Hilbert 16th problem: Limit cycles, cyclicity, Abelian integrals In the first lecture we discuss several possible relaxed formulations of the Hilbert 16th problem on limit cycles of vector fields and related questions from analytic functions theory. 1. Zeros of analytic functions The introductory section presents several possible formulations of the question about the number of zeros of a function of one variable. All functions below are either real or complex analytic in their domains, eventually exhibiting singularities on their boundaries. We would like to stress that only isolated zeros of such functions are counted, so that by definition a function identically vanishing on an open set, has no isolated zeros there. Exposition goes mostly by examples that are separated from each other by the symbol ◭. A few demonstrations terminate by the usual symbol . 1.1. Nonaccumulation and individual finiteness. A function f(t) real analytic on a finite open interval (a, b) ⊂ R may have an infinite number of isolated zeros on this interval only if they accumulate to the boundary points a, b of the latter. Thus the finiteness problem of decision whether or not the given function f has only finitely many zeros in its domain, is reduced to studying the boundary behavior of f . In particular, if f is analytic also at the boundary points a, b, then accumulation of infinitely many zeros to these points is impossible and hence f has only finitely many roots on the interval (a, b). However, this strong condition of analyticity can be relaxed very considerably. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. [.

متن کاملNvestigation of a Boundary Layer Problem for Perturbed Cauchy-Riemann Equation with Non-local Boundary Condition
Boundary layer problems (Singular perturbation problems) more have been applied for ordinary differential equations. While this theory for partial differential equations have many applications in several fields of physics and engineering. Because of complexity of limit and boundary behavior of the solutions of partial differential equations these problems considered less than ordinary case. In ...
متن کاملAround Hilbert –Arnol′d Problem
H(n) = uniform bound for the number of limit cycles of (1) . One way to formulate the Hilbert 16th problem is the following: Hilbert 16th Problem (HP). Estimate H(n) for any n ∈ Z+. To prove that H(1) = 0 is an exercise, but to find H(2) is already a difficult unsolved problem (see [DRR,DMR] for work in this direction). Below we discuss two of the most significant branches of research HP has ge...
متن کاملTangential Hilbert Problem for Perturbations of Hyperelliptic Hamiltonian Systems
The tangential Hilbert 16th problem is to place an upper bound for the number of isolated ovals of algebraic level curves {H(x, y) = const} over which the integral of a polynomial 1-form P (x, y) dx + Q(x, y) dy (the Abelian integral) may vanish, the answer to be given in terms of the degrees n = degH and d = max(degP, degQ). We describe an algorithm producing this upper bound in the form of a ...
متن کاملEffective de Rham Cohomology - The General Case
Grothendieck has proved that each class in the de Rham cohomology of a smooth complex affine variety can be represented by a differential form with polynomial coefficients. We prove a single exponential bound on the degrees of these polynomials for varieties of arbitrary dimension. More precisely, we show that the p-th de Rham cohomology of a smooth affine variety of dimension m and degree D ca...
