The paper deals with the classical center-focus problem for the system \[ \dot{x}=y+\sum_{m=2}^{n}X_m(x,y);\qquad \dot{y}=-x+\sum_{m=2}^{n}Y_m(x,y), \] where \(X_m,\;Y_m\) stand for homogeneous polynomials of \(m\)th order. The author finds sufficient conditions under which the equilibrium \((0,0)\) is of center type. These are presented in the form of a finite number of equalities involving the coefficients of \(X_m,\;Y_m\). The following statement is the crucial point of the author's approach. Let \[ d\rho /d\theta =\sum_{m=2}^{n}\rho ^mu_m(\cos\theta ,\sin\theta ) \Biggl[-1+\sum_{m=2}^{n} \rho^{m-1}v_m(\cos\theta ,\sin\theta )\Biggr]^{-1} \] be the equation corresponding to the system in polar coordinates. Then \((0,0)\) is of center type if the equalities \(v'_m=-mu_m\), \(m=2,\ldots ,n\) are true. It should be noted that the author does not compare his result with earlier ones. The paper does not contain any references on the problem.
