Coexistence of centers and limit cycles in polynomial systems (Q5928696)

The authors consider polynomial systems on the plane with coexisting centers and limit cycles. They prove that cubic systems which are symmetric with respect to a noninvariant line have either no or exactly two limit cycles. The same result is proved for rationally reversible cubic systems. New configuration of coexisting centers and limit cycles in cubic systems are presented. An example of an integrable quartic system with a unique limit cycle and a center is given. As a bonus the authors construct a septic system with 57 limit cycles.
