Two-dimensional Crossing-Variable Cubic Nonlinear Systems, Vol IV

This book is the fourth of 15 related monographs presents systematically a theory of crossing-cubic nonlinear systems. In this treatment, at least one vector field is crossing-cubic, and the other vector field can be constant, crossing-linear, crossing-quadratic, and crossing-cubic. For constant vector fields, the dynamical systems possess 1-dimensional flows, such as parabola and inflection flows plus third-order parabola flows. For crossing-linear and crossing-cubic systems, the dynamical systems possess saddle and center equilibriums, parabola-saddles, third-order centers and saddles (i.e, (3rd UP+:UP+)-saddle and (3rdUP-:UP-)-saddle) and third-order centers (i.e., (3rd DP+:DP-)-center, (3rd DP-, DP+)-center) . For crossing-quadratic and crossing-cubic systems, in addition to the first and third-order saddles and centers plus parabola-saddles, there are (3:2)parabola-saddle and double-inflection saddles, and for the two crossing-cubic systems, (3:3)-saddles and centers exist. Finally,the homoclinic orbits with centers can be formed, and the corresponding homoclinic networks of centers and saddles exist.
