We solve theoretically the center problem and the cyclicity of the Hopf bifurcation for two families of Kukles-like systems with their origins being nilpotent and monodromic isolated singular points.

For a quartic polynomial system we investigate bifurcations of limit cycles and obtain conditions for the origin to be a center. Computing the singular point values we find also the conditions for the origin to be the eighth order fine focus. It is proven that the system can have eight small amplitude limit cycles in a neighborhood of the origin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a quartic system with eight limit cycles bifurcated from a fine focus. We also give the sufficient and necessary conditions for the origin to be an isochronous center.

We consider a class of discontinuous Liénard systems and study the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the origin when parameters vary. We establish a method of studying cyclicity of the system at the origin. As an application, we discuss some discontinuous Liénard systems of special form and study the cyclicity near the origin.

SynopsisTwo-dimensional differential systemsare considered, where P and Q are polynomials. The question of interest is the maximum possible numberof limit cycles of such systems in terms of the degree of P and Q. An algorithm is described for determining a so-called focal basis; this can be implemented on a computer. Estimates can then be obtained for the number of small-amplitude limit cycles. The technique is applied to certain cubic systems; a class of examples with exactly five small-amplitude limit cycles is constructed. Quadratic systems are also considered.
