We focus on the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem and provide an upper bound on the number of limit cycles that a polynomial, differential, planar system may have, depending exclusively on the degree $n$ of the system. Such a bound…

Thanks to the interest of many people, a mistake has been found in our way of counting limit cycles. We are working on a new version.

We provide an upper bound for the number of limit cycles that planar polynomial differential systems of a given degree may have. The bound turns out to be a polynomial of degree four in the degree of the system. The strategy brings together…

The second part of the Hilbert's sixteenth problem consists in determining the upper bound $\mathcal{H}(n)$ for the number of limit cycles that planar polynomial vector fields of degree $n$ can have. For $n\geq2$, it is still unknown…

In the weakened 16th Hilbert's Problem one asks for a bound of the number of limit cycles which appear after a polynomial perturbation of a planar polynomial Hamiltonian vector field. It is known that this number is finite for an individual…

For a given natural number $n$, the second part of Hilbert's 16th Problem asks whether there exists a finite upper bound for the maximum number of limit cycles that planar polynomial vector fields of degree $n$ can have. This maximum number…

I discuss some recent work linking certain aspects of the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem to the theory of \hbox{o-minimality}. These notes are adapted from a lecture I gave in the Jour fixe seminar series at the Zukunfts\-kolleg of…

The restricted version of the Hilbert 16th problem for quadratic vector fields requires an upper estimate of the number of limit cycles through a vector parameter that characterizes the vector fields considered and the limit cycles to be…

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…

We prove that to each real singularity $f: (\mathbb{R}^{n}, 0) \to (\mathbb{R}^k, 0)$ with $k\geq 2$ one can associate systems of differential equations $\mathfrak{g}^{k}_f$ which are pushforwards in the category of $\mathcal{D}$-modules…

In this paper, the global qualitative analysis of planar quadratic dynamical systems is established and a new geometric approach to solving Hilbert's Sixteenth Problem in this special case of polynomial systems is suggested. Using geometric…

The main goal of this paper is the study of two kinds of nonlinear problems depending on parameters in unbounded domains. Using a nonstandard variational approach, we first prove the existence of bounded solutions for nonlinear eigenvalue…
