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) }
\...

Algebraic independence of limit cycles of Lienard equation
It is well known that the Van der Pol equation $$\begin{cases} \dot x=y-(x^3-x)\\\dot y=-x \end{cases}$$ has no an algebraic limit cycle.
According to this fact, we search for a related ...
