Ten limit cycles around a center-type singular point in a 3-d quadratic system with quadratic perturbation (Q2344453)

The authors study local limit cycle bifurcations in three dimensional autonomous systems of ordinary differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities. It is shown that there are such systems with at least 10 small-amplitude limit cycles around a singular point. To construct the example, the authors compute the focus values of the system, apply the normal forms method and use resultants to analyze the zero set of the focus values.
