On the structural stability of planar quasihomogeneous polynomial vector fields

Abstract

Denote by $H_{pqm}$ the space of all planar $(p,q)$-quasihomogeneous vector fields of degree $m$ endowed with the coefficient topology. In this paper we characterize the set $\Omega_{pqm}$ of the vector fields in $H_{pqm}$ that are structurally stable with respect to perturbations in $H_{pqm}$, and determine the exact number of the topological equivalence classes in $\Omega_{pqm}$. The characterisation is applied to give an extension of the Hartman-Grobmann Theorem for such family of planar polynomial vector fields. It follows from the main result in this paper that, for a given $X \in H_{pqm}$ we give a explicit method to decide whether it is structurally stable with respect to perturbation in $H_{pqm}$ before finding the vector field induced by $X$ in the Poincar\'e-Lyapunov sphere. This work is an extension and an improvement of the Llibre-Perez-Rodriguez's paper \cite{LRR}, where the homogeneous case was considered. More precisely, if both $p$ and $q$ are odd, the main results of this paper are similar to those of the Llibre-Perez-Rodriguez's paper; if either $p$ or $q$ is odd while the other is even, we present some results which do not appear in the above mentioned paper. For example, one of the interesting results is that there may be triples $(p,q,m)$ such that $H_{pqm}\not=\emptyset$ but $\Omega_{pqm}=\emptyset$, which does not occur in the homogeneous case.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
