Abstract

A global center for a vector field in the plane is a singular point p having \(\mathbb {R}^2\) filled of periodic orbits with the exception of the singular point p. Polynomial differential systems of degree 2 have no global centers. In this paper we classify the global nilpotent centers of planar cubic polynomial Hamiltonian systems symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
