We find an upper bound to the maximal number of limit cycles, which bifurcate from a hamiltonian two-saddle loop of an analytic vector field, under an analytic deformation.
In the paper, we first give the least upper bound formula on the number of centers of planar real polynomial Hamiltonian vector fields. This formula reveals that the greater the number of invariant straight lines of the vector field and the…

This work is devoted to the study of the relationships between graph theory and the qualitative analysis of ordinary differential equations, with a special focus on two-dimensional systems. In particular, we reinterpret classical results…
This paper is concerned with the limit cycles for planar semi-quasi-homogeneous polynomial systems. We give some explicit criteria for the nonexistence and existence of periodic orbits. Let $N=N(p,q,m,n)$ be the maximum number of limit…

In this paper, using geometric properties of the field rotation parameters, we present a solution of Smale's Thirteenth Problem on the maximum number of limit cycles for Li\'{e}nard's polynomial system. We also generalize the obtained…
Recently, the covariant formulation of the geometric bifurcation theory, developed in a previous paper, has been applied to two elementary problems: the study of limit cycles of dynamical systems and the second part of Hilbert's sixteenth…
We study the number of limit cycles bifurcating from a piecewise quadratic system. All the differential systems considered are piecewise in two zones separated by a straight line. We prove the existence of 16 crossing limit cycles in this…
Let X be a homogeneous polynomial vector field of degree 2 on S^2. We show that if X has at least a non--hyperbolic singularity, then it has no limit cycles. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for determining if a singularity of X…
Let \(H(n)\) denote the Hilbert number, i.e.\ the maximal number of limit cycles of planar polynomial vector fields of degree \(\le n\). A classical lower-bound mechanism for \(H(n)\) is \emph{replication}: one pulls back a vector field by…
In this paper, applying a canonical system with field rotation parameters and using geometric properties of the spirals filling the interior and exterior domains of limit cycles, we solve first the problem on the maximum number of limit…

Hilbert-Arnold (HA) problem, motivated by Hilbert 16-th problem, is to prove that for a generic k-parameter family of smooth vector fields {\dot x=v(x,\eps)}_{\eps\in B^k} on the 2-dimensional sphere S^2 has uniformly bounded number of…
It is well known that linear vector fields defined in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can not have limit cycles, but this is not the case for linear vector fields defined in other manifolds. We study the existence of limit cycles bifurcating from a…
We investigate the maximal number $N_h(m)$ of normally hyperbolic limit tori in three-dimensional polynomial vector fields of degree $m$, which extends the classical notion of Hilbert numbers to higher dimensions. Using recent developments…
