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) } …

An algebraic Hamiltonian vector field with a finite number of periodic orbits(1)

Edit: The previous version of this question contained 2 part. In this new version, I deleted the first part and move it to a new question. Is There a polynomial Hamiltonian $H(x,y,z,w)=zP(x,y)+wQ( …

Can a harmonic vector field possess a limit cycle?

Can a harmonic vector field $X$ on a Riemannian surface $(M,g)$ possess a limit cycle(An isolated periodic orbit)? Note that the Laplacian of a vector field is defined via natural correspondence bet …

Limit cycles as closed geodesics(2)

Hilbert 16th problem asks for a uniform upper bound $H(n)$ for the number of limit cycles of a polynomial vector field of degree $n$ on the plane. Here is an updated proof of the fi …

Hilbert 16th problem via hyperbolic geometry

More than 16 years ago, I heard from someone that he thinks that there is a possible relation between Hilbert's 16th problem(for $n=2$) and Hyperbolic geometry. He says that a po …

Canard limit cycle for certain singularly perturbed system (Is there a contradictory situati...

From the figures of page 478 and 479 of this paper one find that the author probably means that we have a (canard) limit cycle for the system $$\begin{cases} x'=y-x^2\\ y'=\epsilon(a-x) \e …

Counting limit cycles via curvature in Riemannian geometry

In this post we would like to give a possible new approach to the second part of the Hilbert 16th problem First we give a short introduction: A quadratic system is a polynomial vector field on …

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 questio …
