AN EXTENSION OF THE POINCARÉ COMPACTIFICATION AND A GEOMETRIC INTERPRETATION

Abstract

Our purpose in this paper is to understand the geometry of the Poincaré compactification and to apply this technique to prove that there exists a Poincaré compactification of vector fields defined by rational functions and of vector field that are the quotient of some power of polynomial. We will give also a global expressions for the Poincaré vector field associated. Furthermore, we summarize these results proving that there exist a Poincaré vector field for any vector field whose rate of growth at infinity of each component is not bigger than a polynomial growth.
