Lie symmetries for the orbital linearization of smooth planar vector fields around singular points (Q930976): Difference between revisions

The article deals with the orbital linearization problem, i.e. to determine the local Poincaré normal form transformation that maps the foliation defined by the solutions of a smooth nonlinear planar system of differential equations into the foliation of a linear one. The authors propose a method to obtain the change of coordinates that orbitally linearizes a smooth planar vector field on \(\mathbb{C}^2\) around an elementary singular point or a nilpotent singular point from a given infinitesimal generator of a Lie symmetry. An illustrative example is given. This article is a generalization of the method proposed in [\textit{I. A. García} and \textit{S. Maza}, ``Linearization of analytic isochronous center from a given commutator'', J. Math. Anal. Appl. 339, No. 1, 740--745 (2008; Zbl 1148.34029)].
