On the other hand, the notion of round quadratic forms has been introduced by Witt. Based on these ideas, it is here shown that 1) a field F is formally real n-pythagorean iff the nth radical, RnF is a preordering (Theorem 2), and 2) a field F is n-pythagorean iff for any n-fold Pfister form ρ. There exists an odd integer l(>1) such that l×ρ is a round quadratic form (Theorem 8). By considering upper bounds for the number of squares on Pfister’s interpretation, these results finally lead to the main result (Theorem 10) such that the generalization of pythagorean fields coincides with the generalization of Hilbert’s 17th Problem.展开更多

It means that the system includes the possibility to have some critical values on the bifurcation parameter. Corresponding to these values, the pseudo-singular point, which is a singular point in the time-scaled-reduced system should be changed to another one. Then, the canards may fly to another pseudo-singular point, if possible. Can the canards fly? The structural stability gives the possibility for the canards flying. The precise reasons why happen are described in this paper.展开更多

We hope to understand the following questions: can we use the periodic solution family of ( m-1) degree planar Hamiltonian systems with Z q equivariant (or D q equivariant) symmetry to realize some schemes of ovals for planar algebraic curves? On the contrary, if an algebraic curve of degree m has maximal number of branches of ovals (it is called M -curve), can we make his all ovals become limit cycles of a planar polynomial system? What schemes of distribution of limit cycles can be realized by polynomial system.展开更多

Then, the slow manifold sometimes shows various aspects due to the bifurcation. Introducing a key notion “symmetry” to the slow-fast system, it becomes clear when the pseudo singular point obtains the structural stability or not. It should be treated with a general case. Then, it will also be given about the sufficient conditions for the existence of the center manifold under being “symmetry”. The higher dimensional canards in the sow-fast system are deeply related to Hilbert’s 16th problem. Furthermore, computer simulations are done for the systems having Brownian motions. As a result, the rigidity for the system is confirmed.展开更多

文摘There exists a property “structural stability” for “4-dimensional canards” which is a singular-limit solution in a slow-fast system with a bifurcation parameter. It means that the system includes the possibility to have some critical values on the bifurcation parameter. Corresponding to these values, the pseudo-singular point, which is a singular point in the time-scaled-reduced system should be changed to another one. Then, the canards may fly to another pseudo-singular point, if possible. Can the canards fly? The structural stability gives the possibility for the canards flying.
