Two-dimensional Self-independent Variable Cubic Nonlinear Systems

This book, the third of 15 related monographs, presents systematically a theory of self-independent cubic nonlinear systems. Here, at least one vector field is self-cubic, and the other vector field can be constant, self-linear, self-quadratic, or self-cubic. For constant vector fields in this book, the dynamical systems possess 1-dimensional flows, such as source, sink and saddle flows, plus third-order source and sink flows. For self-linear and self-cubic systems discussed, the dynamical systems possess source, sink and saddle equilibriums, saddle-source and saddle-sink, third-order sink and source (i.e, (3rd SI:SI)-sink and (3rdSO:SO)-source) and third-order source (i.e., (3rd SO:SI)-saddle, (3rd SI, SO)-saddle). For self-quadratic and self-cubic systems, in addition to the first and third-order sink, source and saddles plus saddle-source and saddle-sink, there are (3:2)-saddle-sink and (3:2) saddle-source and double-saddles. For the two self-cubic systems, (3:3)-source, sink and saddles exist. Finally, the author describes that homoclinic orbits without centers can be formed, and the corresponding homoclinic networks of source, sink and saddles exists.
