We study the most generic nilpotent singularity of a vector field in ${\mathbb R}^3$ which is equivariant under reflection with respect to a line, say the $z$-axis. We prove the existence of eight equivalence classes for $C^0$-equivalence, all determined by the 2-jet. We also show that in certain cases, the ${\mathbb Z}_2$-equivariant unfoldings generically contain codimension one heteroclinic cycles which are comparable to the Shil'nikov-type homoclinic cycle in non-equivariant unfoldings. The heteroclinic cycles are accompanied by infinitely many horseshoes and also have a reasonable possibility of generating suspensions of Hénon-like attractors, and even Lorenz-like attractors.

AbstractA class of vector fields on the 2-torus, which includes Cherry fields, is studied. Natural paths through this class are defined and it is shown that the parameters for which the vector field is unstable is the closure ofhas irrational rotation number}, where ƒ is a certain map of the circle andRtis rotation throught. This is shown to be a Cantor set of zero Hausdorff dimension. The Cherry fields are shown to form a family of codimension one submanifolds of the set of vector fields. The natural paths are shown to be stable paths.

In this paper, we are dealing with piecewise smooth vector fields in a 2D-manifold. In such a scenario, the main goal of this paper is to exhibit the homeomorphism that gives the topological equivalence between a codimension one piecewise smooth vector field and the respective C0-normal form.

Robust attracting heteroclinic cycles have been found in many models of dynamics with symmetries. In all previous examples, robust heteroclinic cycles appear between a number of symmetry broken equilibria. In this paper we examine the first example where there are robust attracting heteroclinic cycles that include the origin, i.e. a point with maximal symmetry. The example we study is for vector fields on ℝ3 with (ℤ2)3 symmetry. We list all possible generic (codimension one) local and global bifurcations by which this cycle can appear as an attractor; these include a resonance bifurcation from a limit cycle, direct bifurcation from a stable origin and direct bifurcation from other and more familiar robust heteroclinic cycles.

Consider a nonsingular vector field X on a closed manifold Mn. As a matter of fact, X always admits a transverse codimension one plane field, which however may fail to be integrable. In fact it is well known that there are many examples of vector fields which do not admit transverse foliations.

AbstractWe introduce a family of pairings between a bounded divergence-measure vector field and a function u of bounded variation, depending on the choice of the pointwise representative of u. We prove that these pairings inherit from the standard one, introduced in [G. Anzellotti, Pairings between measures and bounded functions and compensated compactness, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 135 1983, 293–318], [G.-Q. Chen and H. Frid, Divergence-measure fields and hyperbolic conservation laws, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 147 1999, 2, 89–118], all the main properties and features (e.g. coarea, Leibniz, and Gauss–Green formulas). We also characterize the pairings making the corresponding functionals semicontinuous with respect to the strict convergence in \mathrm{BV}. We remark that the standard pairing in general does not share this property.

Motivated by the hindrance of defining metric tensors compatible with the underlying spinor structure, other than the ones obtained via a conformal transformation, we study how some geometric objects are affected by the action of a disformal transformation in the closest scenario possible: the disformal transformation in the direction of a null-like vector field. Subsequently, we analyze symmetry properties such as mutual geodesics and mutual Killing vectors, generalized Weyl transformations that leave the disformal relation invariant, and introduce the concept of disformal Killing vector fields. In most cases, we use the Schwarzschild metric, in the Kerr–Schild formulation, to verify our calculations and results. We also revisit the disformal operator using a Newman–Penrose basis to show that, in the null-like case, this operator is not diagonalizable.

AbstractFor certainCr3-dimensional cooperative or competitive vector fieldsF, whereris any positive integer, it is shown that for any nonwandering pointp, every neighborhood ofFin theCrtopology contains a vector field for whichpis periodic, and which agrees withFoutside a given neighborhood ofp. The proof is based on the existence of invariant planar surfaces throughp.

Let M be a 3-manifold with boundary ∂M. Let X be a C∞, vector field on M, tangent to ∂M, exhibiting a singular cycle associated to a hyperbolic equilibrium σ∈∂M with real eigenvalues λss < λs < 0 < λu satisfying λs - λss - 2λu > 0. We prove under generic conditions and k large enough the existence of a Ck robust transitive set of X, that is, any Ck vector field Ck close to X exhibits a transitive set containing the cycle. In particular, C∞ vector fields exhibiting Ck robust transitive sets, for k large enough, which are not singular-hyperbolic do exist on any compact 3-manifold with boundary.

Chua’s oscillator is topologically conjugate to a large class of vector fields with a scalar non-linearity. In this letter, we give an algorithm which, given a vector field in this class, finds the parameters for Chua’s oscillator for which Chua’s oscillator is topologically conjugate to it. We illustrate this by transforming Sparrow’s system and the chaotic Colpitts oscillator into equivalent Chua’s oscillators.

In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$ of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ denoted by $G^{f,h}$ which is named a twisted Sasakian metric. A necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is harmonic with respect to the twisted Sasakian metric are established. Some examples of harmonic vector fields are presented as well.
