On Finiteness in Differential Equations and Diophantine Geometry
Description
This book focuses on finiteness conjectures and results in ordinary differential equations and Diophantine geometry. During the past twenty-five years, much progress has been achieved on finiteness conjectures, which are the offspring of the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem. Even in its simplest case, this is one of the very few problems on Hilbert's list which remains unsolved. These results are about existence and estimation of finite bounds for the number of limit cycles occurring in certain families of ordinary differential equations. The book describes this progress, the methods used (bifurcation theory, asymptotic expansions, methods of differential algebra, or geometry) and the specific results obtained. The finiteness conjectures on limit cycles are part of a larger picture which also includes finiteness problems in other areas of mathematics, in particular those in Diophantine geometry where remarkable results were proved during the same period of time. A chapter is devoted to finiteness results in Diophantine geometry obtained by using methods of differential algebra, a connecting element between these parallel developments in the book.
