The classical Center-Focus Problem posed by H. Poincar\'e in 1880's is concerned on the characterization of planar polynomial vector fields $X=(-y+P(x,y))\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x}+(x+Q(x,y))\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y},$ with…

The classical H. Poincar\'{e} Center-Focus problem asks about the characterization of planar polynomial vector fields such that all their integral trajectories are closed curves whose interiors contain a fixed point, a {\em center}. This…

We address the classical (degenerate or non-degenerate) center problem posed by Poincar\'e in the 19th century for monodromic singularities of analytic families of planar vector fields $\mathcal{X}$. We prove that every analytic center…

In this paper, I have proved that for a class of polynomial differential systems of degree n+1 ( where n is an arbitrary positive integer) the composition conjecture is true. I give the sufficient and necessary conditions for these…

We continue the study of the center problem for the ordinary differential equation $v'=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_{i}(x)v^{i+1}$ started in our earlier papers. In this paper we present the highlights of the algebraic theory of centers.

The Polynomial Abel differential equations are considered a model problem for the classical Poincar\'e center--focus problem for planar polynomial systems of ordinary differential equations. Last decades several works pointed out that all…

In recent years, the so-called polynomial moment problem, motivated by the classical Poincare center-focus problem, was thoroughly studied, and the answers to the main questions have been found. The study of a similar problem for rational…

We study the center-focus problem for planar polynomial vector fields, which can be viewed as a local version of Hilbert's 16th problem. Based on a Lyapunov function approach, we establish novel results regarding the center-focus…

In this paper we give a complete solution of the following "polynomial moment problem" which arose about 10 years ago in connection with Poincare's center-focus problem. For a given polynomial P(z) to describe polynomials Q(z) orthogonal to…

The Abel differential equation $y'=p(x)y^3 + q(x) y^2$ with polynomial coefficients $p,q$ is said to have a center on $[a,b]$ if all its solutions, with the initial value $y(a)$ small enough, satisfy the condition $y(a)=y(b)$. The problem…

A center of a differential system in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ is an equilibrium point $p$ having a neighborhood $U$ such that $U\setminus \{p\}$ is filled of periodic orbits. A center $p$ is global when $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \{p\}$ is…

A difficult classical problem in the qualitative theory of differential systems in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ is the center-focus problem, i.e. to distinguish between a focus and a center. Another difficult problem is to distinguish inside a…

We first generalize a classical iteration formula for one variable holomorphic mappings to a formula for higher dimensional holomorphic mappings. Then, as an application, we give a short and intuitive proof of a classical theorem, due to H.…

In this work we deal with analytic families of real planar vector fields $\mathcal{X}_\lambda$ having a monodromic singularity at the origin for any $\lambda \in \Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^p$ and depending analytically on the parameters…

Classifications of irreducible components of the set of polynomial differential equations with a fixed degree and with at least one center singularity lead to some other new problems on Picard-Lefschetz theory and Brieskorn modules of…

In this work, we review the concept of center of a geometric object as an equivariant map, unifying and generalizing different approaches followed by authors such as C. Kimberling or A. Edmonds. We provide examples to illustrate that this…

We give an algorithm for deciding whether a planar polynomial differential system has a first integral which factorizes as a product of defining polynomials of curves with only one place at infinity. In the affirmative case, our algorithm…

Abel equations of the form $x'(t)=f(t)x^3(t)+g(t)x^2(t)$, $t \in [-a,a]$, where $a>0$ is a constant, $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions, are of interest because of their close relation to planar vector fields. If $f$ and $g$ are odd…

One of the various versions of the classical Lyapunov-Poincar\'e center theorem states that a nondegenerate real analytic center type planar vector field singularity admits an analytic first integral. In a more proof of this result, R.…
