Experimental results for the Poincaré center problem (including an Appendix with Martin Cremer)
Abstract
We apply a heuristic method based on counting points over finite fields to the Poincaré center problem. We show that this method gives the correct results for homogeneous non linearities of degree 2 and 3. Also we obtain new evidence for Zoladek's conjecture about general degree 3 non linearities

- 16 pages, 2 figures, source code of programs at http://www-ifm.math.uni-hannover.de/~bothmer/strudel/. Added references, the result of Example 6.2 is not new. Added two new sections on rationally reversible systems. The 4th codim 7 component we saw only experimentally can now also be identified geometricaly
