Monotonicity of the period map of a non-Hamiltonian center.
In this paper we consider a class of cubic polynomial systems with two invariant parabolas and prove in the parameter space the existence of neighborhoods such that in one the system has a unique limit cycle and in the other the system has at most three limit cycles, bounded by the invariant parabolas.
A class of degree four differential systems that have an invariant conic , , is examined. We show the coexistence of small amplitude limit cycles, large amplitude limit cycles, and invariant algebraic curves under perturbations of the coefficients of the systems.
