Abstract:
In this paper we address the Poincare problem, on plane
polynomial vector fields, under some conditions on the nature
of the singularities of invariant curves. Our main idea
consists in transforming a given vector field of degree m
into another one of degree at most m+1 having its invariant
curves in projective quasi-generic position. This allows us to
give bounds on degree for some well known classes of curves
such as the nonsingular ones and curves with ordinary nodes.
We also give a bound on degree for any invariant curve in terms
of the maximum Tjurina number of its singularities and the
degree of the vector field.
