Critical cases of stability. Converse implicit function theorem for dynamical systems with cosymmetry (Q1280662)

The author studies the stability for the equilibria point \(u_0\in\mathbb{R}^n\) of ODEs \[ \dot u=F(u),\;u\in\mathbb{R}^n,\;\;F(u_0)=0,\tag{1} \] \(F\) is analytic which admits a nontrivial cosymmetry, i.e., it is assumed that there is a continuous vector field \(L\), such that \[ (F(u),L(u))\equiv 0,\quad L(u_0)\neq 0. \tag{2} \] It is known (see e.g. \textit{V. I. Yudovich} [Math. Notes 49, No.~5, 540-545 (1991); translation from Mat. Zametki 49, No.~5, 142-148 (1991; Zbl 0747.47010)] that under assumption (2) equation (1) generically has a one-parametrical analytic curve of equilibrium points which contains \(u_0\). The author proves that the converse assertion is also true: namely, if the equation has a one-parametrical analytic curve of equilibrium points (and satisfies some natural assumptions) then it possesses a nontrivial cosymmetry (2). Moreover, criteria for the stability of the equilibria for the systems of ODEs with cosymmetry in all critical (boundary) cases of codimension \(0\) and \(1\) are also presented.
