The period function for second-order quadratic ODEs is monotone

Very little is known about the period function for large families of centers. In one of the pioneering works on this problem, Chicone [?] conjectured that all the centers encountered in the family of second-order differential equations ¨x = V (x, ˙ x), being V a quadratic polynomial, should have a mo...

In one of the pioneering works on this problem, Chicone [?] conjectured that all the centers encountered in the family of second-order differential equations ¨x = V (x, ˙ x), being V a quadratic polynomial, should have a monotone period function.

This technique can be used as well to reprove all the cases that were already solved, providing in this way a compact proof for all the quadratic second-order differential equations. We also prove that this property on the period function is no longer true when V is a polynomial which nonlinear part is homogeneous of degree n > 2.
