Abstract: The Abel differential equation $y^{\prime }=p(x)y^2+q(x)y^3$ with $p,qinmathbbR[x]$ is said to have a center on a segment $[a,b]$ if all its solutions, with the initial value $y(a)$ small enough, satisfy the condition $y(b)=y(a)$. The problem of description of conditions implying that the Abel equation has a center may be interpreted as a simplified version of the classical Center-Focus problem of Poincar'e. The Abel equation is said to have a "parametric center" if for each $varepsiloninmathbbR$ the equation $y^{\prime }=p(x)y^2+varepsilonq(x)y^3$ has a center. In this paper we show that the Abel equation has a parametric center if and only if the antiderivatives $P=intp(x)dx,$ $Q=intq(x)dx$ satisfy the equalities $P=widetildePcircW,$ $Q=widetildeQcircW$ for some polynomials $widetildeP,$ $widetildeQ,$ and $W$ such that $W(a)=W(b)$. We also show that the last condition is necessary and sufficient for the "generalized moments" $in{t}_a^b{P}^{i}dQ$ and $in{t}_a^b{Q}^{i}dP$ to vanish for all $igeq0.$
