On the time function of the Dulac map for families of meromorphic vector fields
2003
Given an analytic family of vector fields in Bbb R2 having a saddle point, we study the asymptotic development of the time function along the union of the two separatrices. We obtain a result (depending uniformly on the parameters) which we apply to investigate the bifurcation of critical periods of quadratic centres.
An abstract doubly nonlinear equation with a measure as initial value
2007
Abstract The solvability of the abstract implicit nonlinear nonautonomous differential equation ( A ( t ) u ( t ) ) ′ + B ( t ) u ( t ) + C ( t ) u ( t ) ∋ f ( t ) will be investigated in the case of a measure as an initial value. It will be shown that this problem has a solution if the inner product of A ( t ) x and B ( t ) x + C ( t ) x is bounded below.
Solving fully randomized higher-order linear control differential equations: Application to study the dynamics of an oscillator
2021
[EN] In this work, we consider control problems represented by a linear differential equation assuming that all the coefficients are random variables and with an additive control that is a stochastic process. Specifically, we will work with controllable problems in which the initial condition and the final target are random variables. The probability density function of the solution and the control has been calculated. The theoretical results have been applied to study, from a probabilistic standpoint, a damped oscillator.
Global Non-monotonicity of Solutions to Nonlinear Second-Order Differential Equations
2018
We study behavior of solutions to two classes of nonlinear second-order differential equations with a damping term. Sufficient conditions for the first derivative of a solution x(t) to change sign at least once in a given interval (in a given infinite sequence of intervals) are provided. These conditions imply global non-monotone behavior of solutions.
A Unifying Framework for Perturbative Exponential Factorizations
2021
We propose a framework where Fer and Wilcox expansions for the solution of differential equations are derived from two particular choices for the initial transformation that seeds the product expansion. In this scheme, intermediate expansions can also be envisaged. Recurrence formulas are developed. A new lower bound for the convergence of theWilcox expansion is provided, as well as some applications of the results. In particular, two examples are worked out up to a high order of approximation to illustrate the behavior of the Wilcox expansion.
On the construction of lusternik-schnirelmann critical values with application to bifurcation problems
1987
An iterative method to construct Lusternik-Schnirelmann critical values is presented. Examples of its use to obtain numerical solutions to nonlinear eigenvalue problems and their bifurcation branches are given
Stochastic dynamics of nonlinear systems with a fractional power-law nonlinear term: The fractional calculus approach
2011
Fractional power-law nonlinear drift arises in many applications of engineering interest, as in structures with nonlinear fluid viscous–elastic dampers. The probabilistic characterization of such structures under external Gaussian white noise excitation is still an open problem. This paper addresses the solution of such a nonlinear system providing the equation governing the evolution of the characteristic function, which involves the Riesz fractional operator. An efficient numerical procedure to handle the problem is also proposed.
Pseudo-force method for a stochastic analysis of nonlinear systems
1996
Nonlinear systems, driven by external white noise input processes and handled by means of pseudo-force theory, are transformed through simple coordinate transformation to quasi-linear systems. By means of Itô stochastic differential calculus for parametric processes, a finite hierarchy for the moment equations of these systems can be exactly obtained. Applications of this procedure to the first-order differential equation with cubic nonlinearity and to the Duffing oscillator show the versatility of the proposed method. The accuracy of the proposed procedure improves by making use of the classical equivalent linearization technique.
An Application of the Fixed Point Theory to the Study of Monotonic Solutions for Systems of Differential Equations
2020
In this paper, we establish some conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the monotonic solutions for nonhomogeneous systems of first-order linear differential equations, by using a result of the fixed points theory for sequentially complete gauge spaces.
On critical behaviour in generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations
2016
International audience; An asymptotic description of the formation of dispersive shock waves in solutions to the generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation is conjectured. The asymptotic description based on a multiscales expansion is given in terms of a special solution to an ordinary differential equation of the Painlevé I hierarchy. Several examples are discussed numerically to provide strong evidence for the validity of the conjecture. The numerical study of the long time behaviour of these examples indicates persistence of dispersive shock waves in solutions to the (subcritical) KP equations, while in the supercritical KP equations a blow-up occurs after the formation of the disp…
