Topological equivalence in the infinity of a planar vector field and its principal part defined through Newton polytope

Abstract

Given a planar polynomial vector field $X$ with a fixed Newton polytope $\mathcal{P}$, we prove (under some non degeneracy conditions) that the monomials associated to the upper boundary of $\mathcal{P}$ determine (under topological equivalence) the phase portrait of $X$ in a neighbourhood of boundary of the Poincar\'e--Lyapunov disk. This result can be seen as a version of the well known result of Berezovskaya, Brunella and Miari for the dynamics at the infinity, We also discuss the effect of the Poincar\'e--Lyapunov compactification on the Newton polytope.
