In this work, we study the Abelian integral [Formula: see text] corresponding to the following Liénard system, [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are real bounded parameters. By using the expansion of [Formula: see text] and a new algebraic criterion developed in [Grau et al., 2011], it will be shown that the sharp upper bound of the maximal number of isolated zeros of [Formula: see text] is 4. Hence, the above system can have at most four limit cycles bifurcating from the corresponding period annulus. Moreover, the configuration (distribution) of the limit cycles is also determined. The results obtained are new for this kind of Liénard system.
