Summary.

A necessary and sufficient condition for an analytic Liénard system \( \dot{x} = y \), \( \dot{y}=-f(x)y-g(x) \) to have a local center at the origin is given. It is proved by using the Poincaré-Lyapunov method. Our results improve an old result of T. Saito. In Section 3 we illustrate our main result by numerical examples with phase portraits.
