Weak bi-center and critical period bifurcations of a $Z_2$-Equivariant quintic system

Abstract

With the help of computer algebra system-\textsc{Mathematica}, this paper considers the weak center problem and local critical periods for bi-center of a $Z_2$-Equivariant quintic system with eight parameters. The order of weak bi-center is identified and the exact maximum number of bifurcation of critical periods generated from the bi-center is given via the combination of symbolic calculation and numerical analysis.
