The connection between the dynamical properties of 3D systems and the image of the energy-Casimir mapping

Abstract

We investigate the connection between the dynamical properties of a class of 3D systems and the geometric characteristics of the image of the energy-Casimir mapping. By examining the energy-Casimir mapping for such systems, we can explore the stability of the equilibrium states, the distribution of the periodic solutions, and the existence of homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits. We apply our findings to investigate the dynamic behavior of two specific equations, and provide a topological classification of the fibers of the energy-Casimir mapping for the two systems.
