Review text

Let \(C_n\) be the set of those planar polynomial differential systems \(\dot x= P(x,y)\), \(\dot y=Q(x,y)\) of degree \(n\) which have only finitely many invariant straight lines. Then there exist numbers \(\alpha(n)\) such that any system in \(C_n\) has at most \(\alpha(n)\) invariant straight lines, and the main result of the paper reads as follows: Denote by \(\beta(n)\) the maximal number of different slopes of invariant straight lines for systems in \(C_n\). For \(n \geq 2\) it is then proved that \(\beta(n) =\alpha (n-1)+1\). The proof makes essential use of the Poincaré compactification for polynomial vector fields in the plane. In earlier papers, the numbers \(\alpha (n)\) had been calculated or at least estimated for \(1\leq n\leq 20\). These results are presented in the paper, too.
