| Summary: | New results are proved on the maximum number of isolated $T$-periodic solutions (limit cycles) of a first order polynomial differential equation with periodic coefficients. The exponents of the polynomial may be negative. The results are compared with the available literature and applied to a class of polynomial systems on the cylinder. (English) |
