| Aug 9, 2010 at 22:26 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | The Dulac problem is the first thing I thought of when I read the title of this question. I'm not a specialist of the problem or a historian, so this is to be taken with a grain of salt, but my impression has always been that the gap should have been caught in 1923, since Dulac essentially confused a function and an asymptotic expansion of that function. Can anyone shed light on this? Anyway, the original strategy was rescued nonetheless, but it was far from trivial. | |
