Darboux integrability and reversible quadratic vector fields (Q2495317): Difference between revisions

The authors study the Darboux theory of integrability for reversible polynomial vector fields in \({\mathbb R}^n\). In particular, they define the concept of \(\varphi\)-reversible vector fields for a given involution \(\varphi\) and show that if \(X\) is a \(\varphi\)-reversible quadratic vector field in \({\mathbb R}^2\) such that the set of fixed-points of \(\varphi\) has dimension one, then the phase portrait of \(X\) is topologically equivalent to one of 77 phase portraits depicted in the paper. Conversely, each of the 77 phase portraits can be realized by such a vector field.
