<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper we investigate the simultaneous existence of isochronous centers for a family of quartic polynomial differential systems under four different types of symmetry. Firstly, we find the normal forms for the system under each type of symmetry. Next, the conditions for the existence of isochronous bi-centers are presented. Finally, we study the global phase portraits of the systems possessing isochronous bi-centers. The study shows the existence of seven non topological equivalent global phase portraits, where three of them are exclusive for quartic systems under such conditions.</p>
This paper introduces the study of occurrence of symmetries in binary differential equations (BDEs). These are implicit differential equations given by the zeros of a quadratic 1-form, a(x, y)dy 2 +b(x, y)dxdy +c(x, y)dx 2 = 0, for a, b, c smooth real functions defined on an open set of R 2 . Generically, solutions of a BDE are given as leaves of a pair of foliations, and the action of a symmetry must depend not only whether it preserves or inverts the plane orientation, but also whether it preserves or interchanges the foliations. The first main result reveals this dependence, which is given algebraically by a formula relating three group homomorphisms defined on the symmetry group of the BDE. The second main result adapts methods from invariant theory of compact Lie groups to obtain an algorithm to compute general expressions of equivariant quadratic 1-forms under each compact subgroup of the orthogonal group O(2).
