First integral of a vectorial field












2














I have a problem that says:




Let



$$dot x = f(x,y) $$
$$dot y = g(x,y) $$



be a 2-dimensional ODE with vector field $X:Uto mathbb{R}^2 $, $X=(f,g)in mathcal C^1 (U)$, and $U$ an open star domain of $mathbb{R}^2 $. X is integrable if there exists a $mathcal C^1 $ function $H: Uto mathbb R$ which is not constant over an open set, but it is constant over the solutions of the ODE.




  1. Prove that $X$ is integrable if, and only if, there exists a $mathcal C^1 $ function $H$ such that


$$DH(x,y)X(x,y)=frac{partial H}{partial x} (x,y) f(x,y)+frac{partial H}{partial y} (x,y) g(x,y)=0 $$




If $varphi(t)$ is a solution of the ODE, then $dot varphi = (f(varphi),g(varphi)) =X(varphi)$, so if $X$ is integrable there exists a function $H$ such that $DH(varphi)X(varphi)=0$. Also, $DH(varphi)X(x,y)=0, ; forall x,y in U$, but I don't know how to prove it in general. Maybe I should use that $U$ is a star domain, but I'm not sure because the problem has more sections.



Any help is welcome. Thanks!

    Note that since $X$ is in $mathcal{C}^1(U)$ an existence and uniqueness theorem works and it is guaranteed that there exists a solution to IVP $varphi(0) = (x_0, y_0)$. Hence you can do a simple substitution in $DH(varphi(t)) X(varphi(t)) equiv 0$.

    Also, "only if" part of the question can be proven by plugging solution $phi(t)$ into $H$ and taking a derivative w.r.t. $t$.

  • ¡Thansk Evgeny! Very clear, I've understood it. For the "only if" part, if we suppose that $DH(x,y)X(x,y)equiv 0 $, then $frac{d}{dt}H(varphi(t))= DH(varphi(t))X(varphi(t))=0 $, so $H$ is constant over a solution $varphi$. But I'm not sure why $H$ is not constant (over an open set). Or is this just a hypothesis?

    You pick a local solution with initial values $φ(0)=(x,y)$ so that at $t=0$ you get then $DH(x,y)X(x,y)=0$.

    @Relativo I think that since this is a short piece of text, $H$ has all the same properties as it was mentioned before. So, the statement should be read: "Vector field $X$ has a first integral $H$ if this locally non-constant function is constant along solutions. Such function $H$ is also a first integral $iff$ $DH(X) equiv 0$."

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton?
