The authors study the Poincaré bifurcation: \[ \dot x= xy+ \mu(\ell_1 x^2+ m_1 xy+ n_1y^2+ p_1x+ q_1y+ f_1),\tag{1} \] \[ \dot y= \textstyle{{1\over 2}}-{1\over 2} x^2+ 2y^2+ \mu(\ell_2x^2+ m_2 xy+ n_2y^2+ p_2x+ q_2y+ f_2), \] of the integrable system: \[ \dot x= xy,\quad \dot y= \textstyle{{1\over 2}}- {1\over 2} x^2+ 2y^2.\tag{2} \] System (2) has two centers \(A(-1,0)\) and \(B(1,0)\), a straight line integral \(x= 0\) and two infinite separatrix cycles formed by the hyperbola \(2x^2- 4y^2= 1\) and two arcs of the equator. They prove that for suitably chosen coefficients \(\ell_i,m_i,\dots, f_i\) and \(0<|\mu|\ll 1\), system (1) has an approximate system which can have either two limit cycles, or one semistable limit cycle, or one limit cycle and one infinite separatrix cycle in the right half-plane \(x>0\), around the focus \(B(1,0)\).
