In this paper, we consider the class of Ω-stable flows on surfaces, i.e. flows on surfaces with the non-wandering set consisting of a finite number of hyperbolic fixed points and a finite number of hyperbolic limit cycles. The class of Ω -stable flows is a generalization of the class of Morse-Smale flows, admitting the presence of saddle connections that do not form cycles. The authors have constructed the Morse-Bott energy function for any such flow. The results obtained are an ideological continuation of the classical works of S. Smale, who proved the existence of the Morse energy function for gradient-like flows, and K. Meyer, who established the existence of the Morse-Bott energy function for Morse-Smale flows. The specificity of Ω-stable flows takes them beyond the framework of structural stability, but the decrease along the trajectories of such flows is still tracked by the regular Lyapunov function.

The paper is devoted to the study of the class of Ω-stable flows without limit cycles on surfaces, i.e. flows on surfaces with non-wandering set consisting of a finite number of hyperbolic fixed points. This class is a generalization of the class of gradient-like flows, differing by forbiddance of saddle points connected by separatrices. The results of the work are the proof of the existence of a Morse energy function for any flow from the considered class and the construction of such a function for an arbitrary flow of the class. Since the results are a generalization of the corresponding results of K. Meyer for Morse-Smale flows and, in particular, for gradient-like flows, the methods for constructing the energy function for the case of this article are a further development of the methods used by K. Meyer, taking in sense the specifics of Ω-stable flows having a more complex structure than gradient-like flows due to the presence of the so-called "chains" of saddle points connected by their separatrices.

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to consider the class of Morse – Smale flows on surfaces, to characterize its subclass consisting of flows with a finite number of moduli of stability, and to obtain a topological classification of such flows up to topological conjugacy, that is, to find an invariant that shows that there exists a homeomorphism that transfers the trajectories of one flow to the trajectories of another while preserving the direction of movement and the time of movement along the trajectories; for the obtained invariant, to construct a polynomial algorithm for recognizing its isomorphism and to construct the realisation of the invariant by a standard flow on the surface. Methods. Methods for finding moduli of topological conjugacy go back to the classical works of J. Palis, W. di Melo and use smooth flow lianerization in a neighborhood of equilibrium states and limit cycles. For the classification of flows, the traditional methods of dividing the phase surface into regions with the same behavior of trajectories are used, which are a modification of the methods of A. A. Andronov, E. A. Leontovich, and A. G. Mayer. Results. It is shown that a Morse – Smale flow on a surface has a finite number of moduli if and only if it does not have a trajectory going from one limit cycle to another. For a subclass of Morse – Smale flows with a finite number of moduli, a classification is done up to topological conjugacy by means of an equipped graph. Conclusion. The criterion for the finiteness of the number of moduli of Morse – Smale flows on surfaces is obtained. A topological invariant is constructed that describes the topological conjugacy class of a Morse – Smale flow on a surface with a finite number of modules, that is, without trajectories going from one limit cycle to another.

Continually expanding periodically translated kernels on the two dimensional grid can yield interesting, beau- tiful and even familiar patterns. For example, expand- ing circular pillbox shaped kernels on a hexagonal grid, adding when there is overlap, yields patterns includ- ing maximally packed circles and a triquetra-type three petal structure used to represent the trinity in Chris- tianity. Continued expansion yields the flower-of-life used extensively in art and architecture. Additional expansion yields an even more interesting emerging ef- florescence of periodic functions. Example images are given for the case of circular pillbox and circular cone shaped kernels. Using Fourier analysis, fundamental properties of these patterns are analyzed. As a func- tion of expansion, some effloresced functions asymp- totically approach fixed points or limit cycles. Most interesting is the case where the efflorescence never repeats. Video links are provided for viewing efflores- cence in real time.

A two-mass oscillator with one mass lying on the driving belt with dry Coulomb friction is considered. A numerical method for finding all limit cycles and their parametric investigation, based on the analysis of fixed points of a two-dimensional map, is suggested. As successive points for the map we chose points of friction transferred from stick mode to slip mode. These transfers are defined by two equalities and yield a two-dimensional map, in contrast to three-dimensional maps that we can construct for regularized continuous dry friction laws.

In a recent paper [Chaos, Solitons Fractals21, 915 (2004)], both real and complex Van der Pol oscillators were introduced and shown to exhibit chaotic limit cycles. In the present work these oscillators are synchronized by applying an active control technique. Based on Lyapunov function, the control input vectors are chosen and activated to achieve synchronization. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed technique are verified through numerical simulations.
