As we know, Liénard system is an important model of nonlinear oscillators, which has been widely studied. In this paper, we study the Hopf bifurcation of an analytic Liénard system by perturbing a nilpotent center. We develop an efficient method to compute the coefficients bl appearing in the expansion of the first order Melnikov function by finding a set of equivalent quantities B2l+1 which are able to calculate directly and can be used to study the number of small-amplitude limit cycles of the system. As an application, we investigate some polynomial Liénard systems, obtaining a lower bound of the maximal number of limit cycles near a nilpotent center.
