Abstract:
In this paper we study the monotonicity of the ratio of two hyperelliptic Abelian integrals $I_0(h)=\oint_{\Gamma_h}ydx$ and $I_1(h)=\oint_{\Gamma_h}xydx$ for which $\Gamma_h$ is a continuous family of periodic orbits of a Newtonian system with Hamiltonian function of the form $H(x,y)=\frac{1}{2}{y^2}\pm \Psi(x)$, where $\Psi$ is an arbitrary even function of degree six.
