From local to global dynamics in Kolmogorov polynomial vector fields (Q6994712)

The authors successfully classify the global dynamics of the vector fields on \(\mathbb{R}^2\) in which two lines \(\{x=0\}\) and \(\{y=0\}\) are invariant. Such vector fields are called Kolmogorov polynomial vector fields and include Lotka-Volterra systems. The results in this paper include:\N\N(i) the conditions for the existence of limit cycles for Kolmogorov polynomial vector fields;\N\N(ii) classifications of the global dynamics on the Poincaré disk for the Lotka-Volterra system with one center;\N\N(iii) classifications of those with a weak saddle.\N\NI think the results are of great interest to mathematicians and theoretical biologists.
