The criticality of centers of potential systems at the outer boundary

The number of critical periodic orbits that bifurcate from the outer boundary of a potential center is studied. We call this number the criticality at the outer boundary. Our main results provide sufficient conditions in order to ensure that this number is exactly 0 and 1. We apply them to study the...

Descripción
Sumario:The number of critical periodic orbits that bifurcate from the outer boundary of a potential center is studied. We call this number the criticality at the outer boundary. Our main results provide sufficient conditions in order to ensure that this number is exactly 0 and 1. We apply them to study the bifurcation diagram of the period function of X = -y∂ x ((x 1) p - (x 1) q )∂ y with q < p. This family was previously studied for q = 1 by Y. Miyamoto and K. Yagasaki.
