Limit cycles bifurcated from a reversible quadratic center (Q2468832)

The main result of the paper is that under quadratic perturbations the exact upper bound of the number of limit cycles produced by the period annulus of the system \[ \dot{z}=-iz(1+A\bar{z}) \] with a nonzero complex number \(A\) is two. It follows basically from a careful estimate of the number of zeros of the associate Abelian integrals. Since there is no Picard-Fuchs equation in such case, the author uses different technique for this purpose.
