Description

In this paper, the problem of center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles at the infinity for a class of cubic systems are investigated. The method is based on a homeomorphic transformation of the infinity into the origin, the first 21 singular point quantities are obtained by computer algebra system Mathematica, the conditions of the origin to be a center and a 21st order fine focus are derived, respectively. Correspondingly, we construct a cubic system which can bifurcate seven limit cycles from the infinity by a small perturbation of parameters. At the end, we study the isochronous center conditions at the infinity for the cubic system.
