Planar quadratic differential systems occur in many areas of applied mathematics. Although more than a thousand papers were written on these systems, a complete understanding of this family is still missing. Classical problems, and in particular, Hilbert's 16th problem [Hilbert, 1900, 1902], are still open for this family. In this article, we conduct a global study of the class QWI of all real quadratic differential systems which have a weak focus and invariant straight lines of total multiplicity of at least two. This family modulo the action of the affine group and time homotheties is three-dimensional and we give its bifurcation diagram with respect to a normal form, in the three-dimensional real projective space of the parameters of this form. The bifurcation diagram yields 73 phase portraits for systems in QWI plus 26 additional phase portraits with the center at its border points. Algebraic invariants are used to construct the bifurcation set. We show that all systems in QWI necessarily have their weak focus of order one and invariant straight lines of total multiplicity exactly two. The phase portraits are represented on the Poincaré disk. The bifurcation set is algebraic and all points in this set are points of bifurcation of singularities. We prove that there is no phase portrait with limit cycles in this class but that there is a total of five phase portraits with graphics, four having the invariant line as a regular orbit and one phase portrait with an infinity of graphics which are all homoclinic loops inside a heteroclinic graphic with two singularities, both at infinity.

AbstractIn this article we determine the global geometry of the planar quadratic differential systems with a weak focus of third order. This class plays a significant role in the context of Hilbert's 16-th problem. Indeed, all examples of quadratic differential systems with at least four limit cycles, were obtained by perturbing a system in this family. We use the algebro-geometric concepts of divisor and zero-cycle to encode global properties of the systems and to give structure to this class. We give a theorem of topological classification of such systems in terms of integer-valued affine invariants. According to the possible values taken by them in this family we obtain a total of 18 topologically distinct phase portraits. We show that inside the class of all quadratic systems with the topology of the coefficients, there exists a neighborhood of the family of quadratic systems with a weak focus of third order and which may have graphics but no polycycle in the sense of [15] and no limit cycle, such that any quadratic system in this neighborhood has at most four limit cycles.
