Abstract

We study the cyclicity of period annuli (or annulus) for general degenerate quadratic Hamiltonian systems with an elliptic segment or a saddle loop, under quadratic perturbations. By using geometrical arguments and studying the respective Abelian integral based on the Picard–Fuchs equation, it is shown that the cyclicity of period annuli (or annulus) for such systems equals two. This result, together with those of Gavrilov and Iliev (2000), Iliev (1996), Zhao et al (2000) and Zhao and Zhu (2001) gives a complete solution to the infinitesimal Hilbert 16th problem in the case of degenerate quadratic Hamiltonian systems under quadratic perturbations.
