Does $P_xP_y+Q_xQ_y=0 \implies$ "non-existence of limit cycle" for $P\partial_x+Q\partial_y$...

Let $X=P\partial_x+Q\partial_y$ be a vector field on the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Assume that we have :$$P_xP_y+Q_xQ_y=0$$ Does this imply that the vector field $X$ is a divergence-free vector field w …

Dynamical obstruction for a vector field to have a Harmonic divergence

Let $(M,g)$ be an analytic Riemannian manifold and $X$ be an analytic vector field on $M$. Can we always have a volume form $\Omega$ such that $\operatorname{Div}_{\Omega} X$ is a harmonic …

Cycloid on manifolds

Inspired by differential equation $$y(1+y'^2)=c$$ which generates the cycloid we consider the following differential equation on a Riemannian manifold: $$f(1+|\nabla f|^2)=c$$ On the other hand th …

A Fourier elliptic vector field on a Riemannian manifold

Motivation for this question: Let $X$ be a vector field on a manifold $M$. Obviously the differential operator $D:C^{\infty}(M)\to C^{\infty}(M)$ with $D(f)=X.f$ is not an elliptic opetator when $\di …

The module generated by kernel of an elliptic differential operator

Let $D$ be an elliptic differential operator defined on $\Gamma(E)$ where $\Gamma (E)$ is the space of smooth sections of vector bundle $E$ over a smooth manifold $M$. So $\Gamma (E)$ is a $C^\i …

Differential inequalities under which a flat function must be identically zero

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function which is flat at $0\in \mathbb{R}$. That is $f^{(k)}(0)=0,\; k=0,1,2,\ldots $. Assume that $|f''(x)|\leq M|f(x)|\quad \forall x\in \mathbb{R}$ …
