Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to find an upper bound for the number of orbital topological types of nth-degree polynomial fields in the plane. An obstacle to obtaining such a bound is related to the unsolved second part of the Hilbert 16th problem. This obstacle is avoided by introducing the notion of equivalence modulo limit cycles. Earlier, the author obtained a lower bound of the form $2^{cn^2 } $ . In the present paper, an upper bound of the same form but with a different constant is found. Moreover, for each planar polynomial vector field with finitely many singular points, a marked planar graph is constructed that represents a complete orbital topological invariant of this field. |
