Darboux integrability and algebraic limit cycles for a class of polynomial differential systems

This paper deals with the existence of Darboux first integrals for the planar polynomial differential systems x=x-y+P n+1(x,y)+xF2n(x,y),y=x+y+Q n+1(x,y)+yF2n(x,y),where P i(x,y),Q i(x,y)and F i(x,y)are homogeneous polynomials of degree i.Within this class,we identify some new Darboux integrable systems having either a focus or a center at the origin.For such Darboux integrable systems having degrees 5and 9 we give the explicit expressions of their algebraic limit cycles.For the systems having degrees 3,5,7 and 9and restricted to a certain subclass we present necessary and sufficient conditions for being Darboux integrable.
