Zero-Hopf polynomial centers of third-order differential equations

We study the 3-dimensional center problem at the zero-Hopf singularity in some families of polynomial vector fields arising from third-order polynomial differential equations. After proving some general properties we check that the quadratic family has no 3-dimensional centers. Later we characterize...

Sumario:We study the 3-dimensional center problem at the zero-Hopf singularity in some families of polynomial vector fields arising from third-order polynomial differential equations. After proving some general properties we check that the quadratic family has no 3-dimensional centers. Later we characterize all the 3-dimensional centers in the cubic homogeneous family. Finally we give a partial classification of the 3-dimensional centers at just one singularity of the full cubic family and propose one open problem to close this classification.
