We present a relationship between the existence of equilibrium points of differential systems and the cofactors of the invariant algebraic curves and the exponential factors of the system.

Given an algebraic curve in the complex affine plane, we describe how to determine all planar polynomial vector fields which leave this curve invariant. If all (finite) singular points of the curve are non-degenerate, we give an explicit expression for these vector fields. In the general setting we provide an algorithmic approach, and as an alternative we discuss sigma processes.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the number of limit cycles of sextic polynomial differential systems (SPDS) via the averaging theory which is an extension to the study of cubic polynomial vector fields in (Nonlinear Analysis 66 (2007), 1707--1721), where we provide an accurate upper bound of the maximum number of limit cycles that SPDS can have bifurcating from the period annulus surrounding the origin of a class of cubic system.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with a relation of Darboux in enumerative geometry, which has very useful applications in the study of polynomial vector fields. The original statement of Darboux was not correct. The present paper gives two different elementary proofs of this relation. The first one follows the ideas of Darboux, and uses basic facts about the intersection index of two plane algebraic curves; the second proof is rather more sophisticated, and gives a stronger result, which should also be very useful. The power of the relation of Darboux is then illustrated by the provision of new, simple proofs of two known results. First, it is shown that an irreducible invariant algebraic curve of degree n > 1 without multiple points for a polynomial vector field of degree m satisfies n ≤ m + 1. Second, a proof is given that quadratic polynomial vector fields have no algebraic limit cycles of degree 3.

The main result of this paper is the determination of all plane polynomial vector fields that admit a prescribed collection of algebraic curves as invariant sets. As an application, the polynomial vector fields admitting certain types of algebraic integrating factors are characterized.
