Bifurcation of small limit cycles in \(Z_{5}\)-equivariant planar vector fields of order 5 (Q864702)

The paper is concerned with the study of the weakened Hilbert's 16th problem (introduced by V. I. Arnold) in case of \(Z_5\)-equivariant planar vector fields of order \(5\). The authors apply local analysis to show that such vector fields can have \(25\) small limit cycles bifurcating from \(5\) degenerate Hopf singular points. In addition, it is proved that no large limit cycles exist. So, in this case, Hilbert's number \(H(5)\) satisfies \(H(5) \geq 25\) that improves the best result \(H(5) \geq 24\) existing in the current literature, obtained by using global bifurcation analysis.
