Algebraic and topological classification of the homogeneous cubic vector fields in the plane (Q923190): Difference between revisions

By using the classification of fourth order binary forms in the real domain, an algebraic classification of systems \(x'=P(x,y)\), \(y'=Q(x,y)\), P, Q homogeneous polynomials of degree 3 is obtained. After a study of phase portraits for the general case when P and Q have the same degree and no common factor, all possible phase portraits are obtained for degree three.
