Problème centre-foyer et application
In this thesis, we study the center-focus problem in a polynomial system. We describe two mechanisms to conclude that a monodromic singular point in this polynomial system is a center. The first one is the method of Darboux. In this method, one uses invariant algebraic curves to build a first integral. The second method is the algebraic (and analytic) reversibility. A monodromic singularity, which is algebraically or analytically reversible at the singular point, is necessarily a center. As an application, in the last chapter, we consider the generalized Gause model with prey harvesting and a generalized Holling response function of type III.
