On the Number of Limit Cycles in Perturbations of Quadratic Hamiltonian Systems

Abstract. We study degree n polynomial perturbations of quadratic reversible Hamiltonian vector fields with one center and one saddle point. It was recently proved that if the first Poincaré-Pontryagin integral is not identically zero, then the exact upper bound for the number of limit cycles on the finite plane is n − 1. In the present paper we prove that if the first Poincaré-Pontryagin function is identically zero, but the second is not, then the exact upper bound for the number of limit cycles on the finite plane is 2(n − 1). In the case when the perturbation is quadratic (n = 2) we obtain a complete result-there is a neighborhood of the initial Hamiltonian vector field in the space of all quadratic vector fields, in which any vector field has at most two limit cycles.

Abstract. We present a criterion that provides an easy sufficient condition in order for a collection of Abelian integrals to have the Chebyshev property. This condition involves the functions in the integrand of the Abelian integrals and can be checked, in many cases, in a purely algebraic way. By using this criterion, several known results are obtained in a shorter way and some new results, which could not be tackled by the known standard methods, can also be deduced.

On the Number of Limit Cycles in Perturbations of Quadratic Hamiltonian Systems

Abstract: We prove that in quadratic perturbations of generic quadratic Hamiltonian vector fields with three saddle points and one centre there can appear at most two limit cycles. This bound is exact.
