Abstract: The 16th Hilbert problem aims to determine the maximum number of isolated periodic solutions which a system of polynomial differential equations in the plane has. A first approach to this are the center-focus and ciclicity problems, which consist in identifying whether the origin of a system is a center or a focus and determining the maximum number of limit cycles, respectively. Here, we aim to study these problems for polynomial differential equations and this means to analyze the stability in a neighbourhood of a monodromic non-degenerate point. An essential mathematical object to deal with these issues are the Lyapunov quantities, which determine whether the origin is a center or a focus and its stability.
