The perturbation of non-Hamiltonian algebraic vector fields

In this question, we are interested in the number of limit cycles which appears in the following perturbational system: \begin{equation}\cases{ x'=y -x^{2}+\epsilon P(x,y) \\ y'=-x+\epsilon Q(x,y) } \...

Flat Riemannian metrics adapted to quadratic vector fields with center

Assume that $P(x,y),Q(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ are two polynomials of degree $2$ with $P(0,0)=Q(0,0)=0.$ Suppose that the vector field $$\begin{cases} x'=P(x,y)\\ y'=Q(x,y) \end{cases}$$ has a center ...

An explicit formula for a flat metric compatible to certain polynomial vector field with center

Let $X$ be the following vector field on the plane: $$\begin{cases} x'=y\\ y'=-x-x^3\end{cases}\;\;\;\;\;(X)$$ The vector field $ (X)$ has a non isochronous center at the origin.The ...

Keeping track of limit cycles via certain second order differential operator

Inspired by the two posts which are linked bellow we ask the following question: Question: For a vector field $X$ on the plane we define the differential operator $D$ on $C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ ...
