In this paper we consider cubic polynomial systems of the form: x' = y + P(x, y), y' = −x + Q(x, y), where P and Q are polynomials of degree 3 without linear part. If M(x, y) is an integrating factor of the system, we propose its reciprocal V (x, y) = 1 / M(x,y) as a linear function of certain coefficients of the system. We find in this way several new sets of sufficient conditions for a center. The resulting integrating factors are of Darboux type and the first integrals are in the Liouville form.
By induction, we have generalized these results for polynomial systems of arbitrary degree.
Moreover, for the cubic case, we have constructed all the phase portraits for each new family with a center.
