Generic one-parameter families of vector fields on two-dimensional manifolds

We have recently solved the inverse scattering problem for one-parameter families of vector fields, and used this result to construct the formal solution of the Cauchy problem for a class of integrable nonlinear partial differential equations connected with the commutation of multidimensional vector fields, such as the heavenly equation of Plebanski, the dispersionless Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (dKP) equation and the two-dimensional dispersionless Toda (2ddT) equation, as well as with the commutation of one-dimensional vector fields, such as the Pavlov equation. We also showed that the associated Riemann–Hilbert inverse problems are powerful tools to establish if the solutions of the Cauchy problem break at finite time, to construct their long-time behaviour and characterize classes of implicit solutions. In this paper, using the above theory, we concentrate on the heavenly and Pavlov equations, (i) establishing that their localized solutions evolve without breaking, unlike the cases of dKP and 2ddT; (ii) constructing the long-time behaviour of the solutions of their Cauchy problems; (iii) characterizing a distinguished class of implicit solutions of the heavenly equation.

In this paper we prove that generic one-parameter families of vector fields on $$\mathbb{S}^2$$ in the neighborhood of the fields of classes AH, SN, HC, SC (Andronov–Hopf, saddle-node, homoclinic curve, saddle connection) are structurally stable. We provide a classification of bifurcations in these families.

We study in this article topological structure ofdivergence-free vector fields on general two-dimensional manifolds.We introduce a new concept called block structural stability(or block stability for simplicity) andprove that the block stable divergence-free vector fields forma dense and open set. Furthermore, we show that a block stabledivergence-free vector field, which we call a basic vector field,is fully characterized by a nice and simple structure,which we call block structure. The results and ideaspresented in this article have been applied to studies on structure and itsevolutions of the solutions ofthe Navier-Stokes equations; see [4, 9, 10].

We shall consider a vector field υ on a smooth manifold. Relative to local coordinates x1,..., x n this field can be written as dx i /dt = υ i (x1,..., x n ) where 1 ≤ i ≤ n and υ i (x1,..., x n ) are smooth functions which are components of the field υ. Thus, each vector field is interpreted as a system of ordinary differential equations on a manifold. Inversely, each system or ordinary differential equations can be represented as the vector field on a corresponding manifold. Many physical laws are written in the form of differential equations, and therefore the study of topological properties of vector fields provides a good deal of qualitative information on the behaviour of certain physical systems. Among the variety of mechanical and physical systems there exists an important class described using so-called Hamiltonian equations. These systems can be realized on even-dimensional manifolds only.

Monotone vector fields were introduced almost 40 years ago as nonlinear extensions of positive definite linear operators, but also as natural extensions of gradients of convex potentials. These vector fields are not always derived from potentials in the classical sense, and as such they are not always amenable to the standard methods of the calculus of variations. We describe here how the selfdual variational calculus, developed recently by the author, provides a variational approach to PDEs and evolution equations driven by maximal monotone operators. To any such vector field T on a reflexive Banach space X, one can associate a convex selfdual Lagrangian L T on the phase space X × X * that can be seen as a “potential” for T, in the sense that the problem of inverting T reduces to minimizing a convex energy functional derived from L T . This variational approach to maximal monotone operators allows their theory to be analyzed with the full range of methods—computational or not—that are available for variational settings. Standard convex analysis (on phase space) can then be used to establish many old and new results concerned with the identification, superposition, and resolution of such vector fields.

On the existence and uniqueness of connecting orbits

In this paper for a given Banach, possibly infinite dimensional, manifold M we focus on the geometry of its iterated tangent bundle TrM, r ∈ ℕ ∪ {∞}. First we endow TrM with a canonical atlas using that of M. Then the concepts of vertical and complete lifts for functions and vector fields on TrM are defined which they will play a pivotal role in our next studies i.e. complete lift of (semi)sprays. Afterward we supply T∞M with a generalized Fréchet manifold structure and we will show that any vector field or (semi)spray on M, can be lifted to a vector field or (semi)spray on T∞M. Then, despite of the natural difficulties with non-Banach modeled manifolds, we will discuss about the ordinary differential equations on T∞M including integral curves, flows and geodesics. Finally, as an example, we apply our results to the infinite-dimensional case of manifold of closed curves.

The calculus of differential forms is used to discuss the local integration theory of a general set of autonomous first order ordinary differential equations. Geometrically, such a set is a vector field ${\bf V}$ in the space of dependent variables. Integration consists of seeking associated geometric structures invariant along ${\bf V}$: scalar fields (first integrals), forms (such as symplectic tensors), vectors (CT generators, Lie’s invariance generators), integrals over subspaces (which are not limited to Poincaré’s absolute and relative invariants). Most classical results are easily understood as simple relations between these. It is shown first that to any field ${\bf V}$ can be associated a Hamiltonian structure of forms (if, when dealing with an odd number of dependent variables, an arbitrary equation of constraint is also added). Families of integral invariants are an immediate consequence. Poisson brackets are isomorphic to Lie products of associated CT-generating vector fields. Hamilton’s variational principle follows from the fact that the maximal regular integral manifolds of a closed set of forms (here a Hamiltonian structure) must include the characteristics of the set (here the trajectories of ${\bf V}$). Auxiliary vector fields are also carefully discussed: the hierarchy of invariance generators of (i) the vector field ${\bf V}$, of (ii) its trajectories, of (iii) any associated Hamiltonian structure of forms. An Appendix summarizes the manipulation of vectors and forms, as a tool for applied mathematics.

The material presented below amounts roughly to the so-called fundamental theorems of Lie and their implications concerning Lie algebras, Lie subgroups and subalgebras. By straightforward and fairly elementary steps, we shall extend the concept of Lie group to include groups admitting coordinate systems in which the functions defining ab, the group product of elements a, b, possess continuous first order derivatives in the coordinates of a and satisfy a Lipschitz condition in those of b. That such groups are equivalent to classical (i.e. analytical) Lie groups was announced in 1936 by van Kampen, although apparently van Kampen published nothing by way of proof beyond a certain decisive uniqueness theorem concerning systems of ordinary differential equations. (This is contained in our theorem (12.1); the proof given below is essentially that of van Kampen [3]). It is conceivable that the condition relative to coordinates of b could be weakened or dispensed with entirely. For, the only part the condition in question plays in our development is to make it certain that the inverse of a certain mapping-the mapping into canonical coordinates-is single-valued. In this connection mention should be made of the paper [1J of Garrett Birkhoff in which it is shown that the existence of continuous first order derivatives of ab with respect to the coordinates of both the a's and the b's is sufficient for defining a Lie group. We shall consider only groups with a finite number of real parameters (whereas the groups considered by Birkhoff are not necessarily finite dimensional). This makes it possible to use the standard existence theorems for systems of ordinary real differential equations. We make no use whatever of the theory of partial differential equations. We maintain throughout a purely local point of view in the sense that we consider only what happens in the neighborhood of the identity. Historical notes. The proof of the uniqueness of square roots (8.5) is due to Claude Chevalley (unpublished). The proof given below of Lie's theorem that a linear system of vector fields which is closed under commutation defines a Lie group is, we believe, due to van der Waerden [4]. We have supplied a number of preliminary lemmas which make the proof rigorously applicable to the case in which the vector fields are only assumed to possess continuous first order derivatives. The theorem in ?17 that every local subgroup of a Lie group is a Lie group is due essentially to E. Cartan [2]. 481

The trajectories of motion along divergence-free vector fields in the phase space of autonomous systems of differential equations are studied, along with the corresponding first-order evolutionary differential equation (the Liouville equation), which describes the shift of the argument of a given function on the phase space along the trajectories of the vector field. Finite graphs and planar domains are considered as the phase space. The absence of a global-in-time solution to the Cauchy problem for the system of differential equations leads to the absence of a transformation group of the initial data space generated by the Cauchy problem. The extension of the set of phase trajectories is associated with a skew-Hermitian extension of the differential operator defined on smooth, compactly supported functions on the phase space.It is established which skew-Hermitian extensions of the first-order differential operator are associated with deterministic extensions of the phase flow, and which are associated with stochastic extensions of trajectories through the boundary of the phase space.

Measurement noise is an integral part of collecting data of a physical process. Thus, noise removal is necessary to draw conclusions from these data, and it often becomes essential to construct dynamical models using these data. We discuss a methodology to learn differential equation(s) using noisy and irregularly sampled measurements. In our methodology, the main innovation can be seen in the integration of deep neural networks with the neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) approach. Precisely, we aim at learning a neural network that provides (approximately) an implicit representation of the data and an additional neural network that models the vector fields of the dependent variables. We combine these two networks by constraints using neural ODEs. The proposed framework to learn a model describing the vector field is highly effective under noisy measurements. The approach can handle scenarios where dependent variables are unavailable at the same temporal grid. Moreover, a particular structure, e.g. second order with respect to time, can easily be incorporated. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for learning models using data obtained from various differential equations and present a comparison with the neural ODE method that does not make any special treatment to noise. Additionally, we discuss an ensemble approach to improve the performance of the proposed approach further.

The Green’s function is widely used in solving boundary value problems for differential equations, to which many mathematical and physical problems are reduced. In particular, solutions of partial differential equations by the Fourier method are reduced to boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations. Using the Green's function for a homogeneous problem, one can calculate the solution of an inhomogeneous differential equation. Knowing the Green's function makes it possible to solve a whole class of problems of finding eigenvalues in quantum field theory. The developed method for constructing the Green’s function of boundary value problems for ordinary linear differential equations is described. An algorithm and program for calculating the Green's function of boundary value problems for differential equations of the second and third orders in an explicit analytical form are presented. Examples of computing the Green's function for specific boundary value problems are given. The fundamental system of solutions of ordinary differential equations with singular points needed to construct the Green's function is calculated in the form of generalized power series with the help of the developed programs in the Maple environment. An algorithm is developed for constructing the Green's function in the form of power series for second-order and third-order differential equations with given boundary conditions. Compiled work programs in the Maple environment for calculating the Green functions of arbitrary boundary value problems for differential equations of the second and third orders. Calculations of the Green's function for specific third-order boundary value problems using the developed program are presented. The obtained approximate Green’s function is compared with the known expressions of the exact Green’s function and very good agreement is found
