Abstract:
      In this note, we report of obtaining 4 limit cycles in quadratic near-integrable polynomial systems. It is shown that when a quadratic integrable system has two centers and is perturbed by quadratic polynomials, it can generate at least 4 limit cycles with (3.1) distribution. This result provides a positive answer to an open problem in this area.
