Center Problems and Limit Cycle Bifurcations in a Class of Quasi-Homogeneous Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we first classify all centers of a class of quasi-homogeneous polynomial differential systems of degree 5. Then we extend this kind of systems to a generalized polynomial differential system and provide the necessary and sufficient conditions to have a center at the origin. Furthermore, we study the Poincaré bifurcation for its perturbed system as it has a center at the origin, find the Poincaré cyclicity up to first order of ε.
