Abstract

In this paper, we report the existence of twelve small limit cycles in a planar system with 3rd-degree polynomial functions. The system has $Z_2$-symmetry, with a saddle point, or a node, or a focus point at the origin, and two focus points which are symmetric about the origin. It is shown that such a $Z_2$-equivariant vector field can have twelve small limit cycles. Fourteen or sixteen small limit cycles, as expected before, cannot not exist.
