ON THE NUMBER OF ZEROS OF THE ABELIAN INTEGRALS FOR A CLASS OF PERTURBED LIÉNARD SYSTEMS

Abstract

Addressing the weakened Hilbert's 16th problem or the Hilbert–Arnold problem, this paper gives an upper bound B(n) ≤ 7n + 5 for the number of zeros of the Abelian integrals for a class of Liénard systems. We proved the main result using the Picard–Fuchs equations and the algebraic structure of the integrals.
