Versal unfolding of homogeneous cubic degenerate centers in strong monodromic family (Q2656622)

Monodromy of degenerate differential systems and identification of center in monodromic systems are important contents in the theory of dynamical systems. This problem has attracted the attention of many scholars in recent years. In this paper, a versal unfolding of homogeneous cubic degenerate centers in strong monodromic family is considered. They prove that the degeneracy of the homogeneous cubic degenerate center with perturbations is of codimension one. Using one unfolding parameter, they display bifurcations at the center in the strong monodromic family, which shows that at most one limit cycle arises if the 3-th order generalized Lyapunov quantity does not vanish. The conclusions of this paper are interesting and important.
