Integrability and generalized center problem of resonant singular point (Q2343688)

The authors study the integrability and generalized center conditions of any resonant singular point for a complex autonomous polynomial differential system. It was known that any resonant singular point is a generalized center if and only if the differential system has an analytic first integral. In the present paper, the authors prove that any resonant singular point is a generalized center if and only if the differential system has an analytic integrating factor. Using this integrating factor method, they obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for integrability. At the same time, the relations of the first integral method and the integrating factor method with the normal form method are obtained.
