Description

In this paper, center conditions and bifurcations of limit cycles for a class of cubic polynomial system in which the origin is a nilpotent singular point are studied. A recursive formula is derived to compute quasi-Lyapunov constant. Using the computer algebra system Mathematica, the first seven quasi-Lyapunov constants of the system are deduced. At the same time, the conditions for the origin to be a center and 7-order fine focus are derived respectively. A cubic polynomial system that bifurcates seven limit cycles enclosing the origin (node) is constructed.
