Ma, Huilong; Yang, Jihua On the number of zeros for Abel integrals of Hamilton system of seven degree with nilpotent singularities. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1399.34099 J. Math., Wuhan Univ. 37, No. 6, 1227-1233 (2017). Summary: In this paper, we study the number of zeros for Abel integrals of Hamilton systems of seven degree with nilpotent singularities. By using the Picard-Fuchs equation method, we derive that the number of zeros of Abel integrals \(I\left ( h \right) = \oint_{{\Gamma_h}} {g\left ( {x, y} \right)dx - f\left ( {x, y} \right)dy} \) on the open interval \(\left ( {0, \frac{1}{4}} \right)\) is at most \(3\left[ {\frac{{n - 1}}{4}} \right]\), where \({\Gamma_h}\) is an oval lying on the algebraic curve \[ \begin{aligned} &H\left ( {x, y} \right) = {x^4} + {y^4} - {x^8} = h, \quad h \in \left ( {0, \frac{1}{4}} \right),\\ &f(x, y) = \sum\limits_{1 \leq 4i + 4j + 1 \leq n} {{x^{4i + 1}}{y^{4j}}} \text{ and } g\left ( {x, y} \right) = \sum\limits_{1 \leq 4i + 4j + 1 \leq n} {{x^{4i}}{y^{4j + 1}}} \end{aligned} \]are polynomials of \(x\) and \(y\) of degrees not exceeding \(n\).
