Abstract

Most studies of the time-reversibility are limited to a linear or an affine involution. In this paper, the authors consider the case of a quadratic involution. For a polynomial differential system with a linear part in the standard form (−y, x) in ℝ2, by using the method of regular chains in a computer algebraic system, the computational procedure for finding the necessary and sufficient conditions of the system to be time-reversible with respect to a quadratic involution is given. When the system is quadratic, the necessary and sufficient conditions can be completely obtained by this procedure. For some cubic systems, the necessary and sufficient conditions for these systems to be time-reversible with respect to a quadratic involution are also obtained. These conditions can guarantee the corresponding systems to have a center. Meanwhile, a property of a center-focus system is discovered that if the system is time-reversible with respect to a quadratic involution, then its phase diagram is symmetric about a parabola.
