Period Monotonicity for Weight-Homogeneous Differential Systems

Abstract

In this article, integrability, center, and monotonicity of associated period function for -quasi-homogeneous vector fields are investigated. We are concerned with family of vector field given by sum, finite or infinite number of quasi-homogeneous polynomials not necessarily to be sharing the same weights. The investigation is done by utilizing method of computing focal values. As an application of the result, a particular family of (p, q)-quasi-homogeneous vector field is studied to find conditions for center, monotonicity and consequently an explicit form for the associated period function.
