Higher order singularities in piecewise linear vector fields

From MaRDI portal





The authors propose an overview of vector field topology on the plane compiled from the qualitative theory of second order dynamical systems and based on [\textit{A. A. Andronov}, \textit{E. A. Leontovich}, \textit{I. I. Gordon} and \textit{A. G. Maier}, Qualitative Theory of Second-Order Dynamic Systems, Halsted Press (1973; Zbl 0282.34022)]. The main result of the paper is the descriptive discussion of the piecewise linear vector fields: analysis of their possible singularities and topology, propose a method to model these singularities, and show how to depict the structure of any topological features. The only result proved, in few lines, in the paper is the Lemma 1 saying that: In the neighbourhood of a singular point lying on a vertex of a piecewise linear interpolated triangulation, the angle coordinate of the vector field does not depend on the distance to the singular point. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0946.00021].
