We study the stratum in the set of all quadratic differential systems $\dot{x}=P_2(x,y), \dot{y}=Q_2(x,y)$ with a center, known as the codimension-four case $Q_4$. It has a center and a node and a rational first integral. The limit cycles…

Dynamical chaos is a fundamental manifestation of gravity in astrophysical, many-body systems. The spectrum of Lyapunov exponents quantifies the associated exponential response to small perturbations. Analytical derivations of these…
