Progess on conjectures of Palis
I came across a "A Global Perspective for Non-Conservative Dynamics" by Palis. He has some conjectures
"Global Conjecture:
There is a dense set $D$ of dynamics such that any element of ...

Role of basins of attraction in the Morse decomposition
Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold and $F \in \mathcal{X}(M)$. We define a DS by
$$\dot{x}=F(x(t))$$
An ordered collection $\mathcal{M}=\left\{M_{1}, \ldots, M_{l}\right\}$ of compact subsets of ...

Proof that a first integral is not a constant function
Let $U$ be an (open) set in $\mathbb{R}^n$. And we are given a set of $m$ basis functions
$$B=\{\psi_i(x): U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mid i=1,\ldots,m \}$$
such that all of them are differentiable and ...

What *piecewise* smooth curves/surfaces/hypersurfaces give rise to forward-invariant regions of dynamical systems?
Consider a set $\mathcal{B}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ that is homeomorphic to a closed n-dimensional ball, and denote its boundary by $\mathcal{H}$. Assume that $\mathcal{H}$ is a "piecewise smooth&...

Existence of a vector field with a finite number of limit cycles.
The following question is related to the Seifert conjecture.
Let $M$ be a closed manifold with zero Euler characteristic. Is it true that each homotopy class of nowhere-zero vector fields on $M$ ...

On Wilson's claim that Lyapunov function level sets are not exotic spheres
In Wilson's paper "The structure of the level surfaces of a Lyapunov function," he states in Corollary 1.3 that the level sets of a smooth Lyapunov function are diffeomorphic to a standard sphere. (...

What is known about topological equivalence of polynomial dynamical systems on two different domains in R^n?
The question is mainly about $\it flows$, not maps (i.e., continuous time, not discrete time).
Is it known if the study of polynomial dynamical systems on $\mathbb R^n$ can be reduced to the study of ...
