Integrability and limit cycles in polynomial systems of ODEs
We discuss two problems related to the theory of olynomial plane differential systems, that is, systems of the form:
$$\frac{dx}{dt}=P_{n}(x,y), \ \ \
\frac{dy}{dt}=Q_{n}(x,y),
$$
where $P_{n}(x,y), Q_{n}(x,y)$ are polynomials of degree $n$, $x$ and $y$ are real unknown functions.
The first one is the problem of local integrability, that is, the problem of finding local analytic integrals in a neighborhood of singular points of system (1). We present a computational approach to find integrable systems within given parametric families of systems and describe some mechanisms of integrability.
The second problem is called the cyclicity problem or the local 16th Hilbert problem and is related to the stimation of the number of limit cycles arising in system (1) after perturbations of integrable systems. The approach is algorithmic and is based on algorithms of computational commutative algebra relying on the Groebner bases theory".
