BIFURCATIONS OF LIMIT CYCLES AND CENTER PROBLEM FOR A CLASS OF CUBIC NILPOTENT SYSTEM
Abstract
For a class of cubic nilpotent system, the formulae of the first eight quasi-Lyapunov constants are obtained. We show that the origin of this system is a center if and only if the first eight Lyapunov constants are zeros. Under a small perturbation, eight limit cycles can be created from the eight-order weakened focus.
