    The aim of the paper is to construct a set of perturbed quadratic Hamiltonian systems with possible distributions of limit cycles generated by center ovals with various configurations of the singular points for the Hamiltonian system: 1. one center and three saddles; 2. two centers and two saddles; 3. one center and one saddle. The key idea in the investigation is that the mentioned system can be transformed into a Liénard system with a small parameter for which a Dulac function depending on it is constructed. This approach permits to estimate the number of limit cycles of the perturbed system for all sufficiently small parameter values. To find the Dulac function, the authors use the solution of a linear programming problem.
