Abstract

We consider two-dimensional smooth vector fields $dx/dt = P(x,y), dy/dt = Q(x,y)$ and estimate the maximal number of limit cycles with special properties which are defined by means of generalized Dulac and Cherkas functions. In case that $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials we present results about the weakend 16-th problem of Hilbert.
