Limit Cycles of Differential Equations

af Colin Christopher

This book contains the lecture series originally delivered at the Advanced Course on Limit Cycles of Differential Equations in the Centre de Rechercha Mathematica Barcelona in 2006. It covers the center-focus problem for polynomial vector fields, and the application of abelian integrals to limit cycle bifurcations. Both topics are related to the authors' interests in Hilbert's sixteenth problem, but would also be of interest to those working more generally in the qualitative theory of dynamical ... (Læs mere)
