Algebraic and Geometric Aspects of the Theory of Polynomial Vector Fields

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 408))

Abstract

Due to the algebraic form of polynomial vector fields, questions and techniques of an algebraic or algebro-geometric nature are suitable for this setting. In these notes we discuss some of them together with applications.
