Families of vector fields with many numerical invariants

We study bifurcations in finite-parameter families of vector fields on $S^2$. Recent papers by Yu. Ilyashenko, N. Goncharuk, Yu. Kudryashov, I. Schurov, and N. Solodovnikov provide examples of (locally generic) structurally unstable families of 3-parameter vector fields: generic close 3-parameter families experience different bifurcations. In this paper, we use these results to construct new examples of few-parameter generic families of planar vector fields such that their classification has many invariants. In particular, we construct (a) 3-parameter families with infinitely many numerical invariants; (b) 4-parameter families with arbitrarily many “robust” numerical invariants; © 5-parameter families with functional invariants.
