We obtain the number of limit cycles as a function of the parameters, and provide criteria for proving in some cases uniqueness and hyperbolicity of the limit cycle surrounding either 1, 7 or 13 critical points, the origin being always one of these points. The method used is the reduction of the problem to an Abel equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-04-07T19:25:34.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v4", "updated": "2014-10-29T14:31:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C07", "34C14", "34C23", "37C27" ], "keywords": [ "limit cycle", "infinite critical points", "equivariant systems", "planar ordinary differential equations", "abel equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.5346A" } } }
