Non-existence and uniqueness of limit cycles for planar polynomial differential systems with homogeneous nonlinearities

In this paper we study the limit cycles of the planar polynomial differential systems * x=ax-y P_n(x,y),\\ y=x ay Q_n(x,y), * where P_n and Q_n are homogeneous polynomials of degree n2, and a R. Consider the functions * &()=P_n() Q_n()\\ &()=Q_n()-P_n()\\ &_1()=a()-(),\\ &_2()=(n-1)(...

Sumario:In this paper we study the limit cycles of the planar polynomial differential systems * x=ax-y P_n(x,y),\\ y=x ay Q_n(x,y), * where P_n and Q_n are homogeneous polynomials of degree n2, and a R. Consider the functions * &()=P_n() Q_n()\\ &()=Q_n()-P_n()\\ &_1()=a()-(),\\ &_2()=(n-1)(2a()-()) '(). *First we prove that these differential systems have at most 1 limit cycle if there exists a linear combination of _1 and _2 with definite sign. This result improves previous knwon results. Furthermore, if _1(_1a-_2)0 for some _1,_20, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-existence, and the existence and uniqueness of the limit cycles of these differential systems. When one of these mentioned limit cycles exists it is hyperbolic and surrounds the origin.
