Description

This paper studies center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles from the equator for a class of polynomial differential system of order seven. By converting real planar system into complex system, we established the relation of focal values of a real system with singular point quantities of its concomitant system, and the recursion formula for the computation of singular point quantities of a complex system at the infinity. Therefore, the first 14 singular point quantities of a complex system at the infinity are deduced by using computer algebra system Mathematica. What's more, the conditions for the infinity of the real system to be a center or 14 degree. ne focus are derived, respectively. A system of order seven that bifurcates 12 limit cycles from the infinity is constructed for the first time.
