On the conditions of a center and general integrals of quadratic differential systems (Q5944194)

Consider the differential system \((*) \;dx/dt =-y + lx^2 + mxy + ny^2, \;dy/dt = x(1+a_1 x + b_1 y).\) It is well-known that \(x=y=0\) is a center if at least one of three sets of conditions on the coefficients of \((*)\) is satisfied. The authors prove that in two of these sets of conditions \((*)\) has a first integral.
