INVARIANT ALGEBRAIC CURVES AND THE CENTER DETERMINATION PROBLEM FOR A CLASS OF CUBIC SYSTEMS
A class of cubic systems with a parabola, two straight lines and a center-focus type singular point, are proved to have a center at the origin if and only if the first focal value vanishes. The center conditions of the system at the origin are proved by constructing integrating factors formed from invariant algebraic curves or by the Poincar\'{e} symmetry principle.
