In this article we make a global study of
the class $QW^I$ of all real quadratic differential systems which have
a weak focus and invariant straight lines of total multiplicity at
least two. As it turns out, these conditions imply that all the systems
in $QW^I$, having a weak focus at some point necessarily have a weak
focus of order one at that point.
In the clousure of this family we find some systems having a center.
The bifurcation diagram for this class,
done in the adequate parameter space which is the 3-dimensional real
projective space, is quite rich in its complexity and yields 151
subsets with 99 phase portraits for the whole class, 73 of them
specifically for quadratic vector fields with a weak focus of first
order. Thus, the paper contains pictures with all the phase
portraits, sketches of the bifurcations surfaces in three dimensions
and slices of the parameter space where one can see curves obtained by
intersecting the bifurcations surfaces with the slices. On some slices
all phase portraits are included, on others we only drew their labels
of these portraits which can be found in the pictures.
The complete three dimensional bifurcation diagram cannot be viewed by
projection on the paper due to its complexity. There are some slices
where the number
of phase portraits is so large that it has not been possible to display
all of them on the slice as this would yield a very crowded picture
with too small portraits. We have produced complete pictures for those
slices (or part of them) each one on one sheet, but some need an A0
format page to see the phase portraits at reasonably
well.
Thus, we have decided to open a web page where we include all those
files that one cannot include in the paper, so that the reader may
download freely for better understanding and possibly
further research. We will keep this page for as long as possible but
presumably not indefinitely.
We do not add here the paper due to the copyright,
but we place only the extra files, both in the original form (either
Mathematica or
Corel Draw) and the more compact JPG, with some helpful comments.
The original form is given in zipped form to
reduce space.
Please note that some of the files are very large and may take a lot to
download. They are consequently even bigger once unzipped. We have
added
the size of the files both zipped and unzipped so to warn you before
downloading.
