Abstract
In this paper, we study the limit cycles bifurcations of four fine focuses in Z 4-equivariant vector fields and the problems that its four singular points can be centers and isochronous centers at the same time. By computing the Liapunov constants and periodic constants carefully, we show that for a certain Z 4-equivariant quintic systems, there are four fine focuses of five order and five limit cycles can bifurcate from each, we also find conditions of center and isochronous center for this system. The process of proof is algebraic and symbolic by using common computer algebra soft such as Mathematica, the expressions after being simplified in this paper are simple relatively. Moreover, what is worth mentioning is that the result of 20 small limit cycles bifurcating from several fine focuses is good for Z 4-equivariant quintic system and the results where multiple singular points become isochronous centers at the same time are less in published references.
