Abstract

The paper derives a formula for the second variation of the displacement function for polynomial perturbations of Hamiltonian systems with elliptic or hyperelliptic Hamiltonians H(x, y)=½y2U(x) in terms of the coefficients of the perturbation. As an application, the conjecture stated by C. Chicone that a specific cubic system appearing in a deformation of singularity with two zero eigenvalues has at most two limit cycles is proved.
