Euler-like vector fields, normal forms, and isotropic embeddings

Normal Forms of Vector Fields on Poisson Manifolds

We study formal and analytic normal forms of radial and Hamiltonian vector fields on Poisson manifolds near a singular point.

Polynomial Normal Forms for Vector Fields on R3

The present paper is devoted to studying a class of smoothly (C∞) finitely determined vector fields on R3. Given any such generic local system of the form ẋ = Ax + · · · , where A is a 3 × 3 matrix, we find the minimal possible number i(A) such that the vector field is i(A)-jet determined, and we find the number μ(A) of moduli in the C∞ classification. We also give a list of the simplest normal...

Unique Normal Forms for Nilpotent Planar Vector Fields

Robust normal forms for saddles of analytic vector fields

The aim of this paper is to introduce a technique for describing trajectories of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) passing near saddle-fixed points. In contrast to classical linearization techniques, the methods of this paper allow for perturbations of the underlying vector fields. This robustness is vital when modelling systems containing small uncertainties, and in the develop...

Generalized forms and vector fields

The generalized vector is defined on an n dimensional manifold. Interior product, Lie derivative acting on generalized p-forms, −1 ≤ p ≤ n are introduced. Generalized commutator of two generalized vectors are defined. Adding a correction term to Cartan’s formula the generalized Lie derivative’s action on a generalized vector field is defined. We explore various identities of the generalized Lie...
