Phase portraits of random planar homogeneous vector fields

Abstract: We study the phase portraits with positive probability of random planar homogeneous vector fields of degree n. In particular, for n=1,2,3, we give a complete solution of the problem and, moreover, either we give the exact value of each probability or we estimate it by using the Monte Carlo method. It is remarkable that all but two of these phase portraits are characterized by their index at the origin and by their number of invariant straight lines through it.


The authors consider a random homogenous system given by \[ F_n(x,y)=P_n(x,y)\frac{\partial }{\partial x}+Q_n(x,y)\frac{\partial}{\partial y}. \] Here the coefficients are independent normal random variables with zero mean and standard deviation one. The systems corresponding to \(n=1,2,3\) are investigated in detail. The topological phase portraits with positive probability are well illustrated by using a Monte Carlo method.
