On the period function of reversible quadratic centers with their orbits inside quartics (Q732597)

The authors study the monotonicity of the period function for the planar real system (belonging to the class of reversible quadratic centers) of the form: \[ \dot x = y + 8(b+1)xy, \quad \dot y = -x -2(3b+1)x^2 + 6(b+1)y^2, \] where \(b \neq -1\) is a real number. In particular, they prove that such system has a period function with at most one critical point.
