Global isochronous potentials
Abstract
We present a geometric characterization of the nonlinear smooth functions V: R R for which the origin is a global isochronous center for the scalar equation x=-V'(x). We revisit Stillinger and Dorignac isochronous potentials V and show a new simple explicit family. Implicit examples are easily produced.
