ABSTRACT. The second part of Hilbert's 16th problem deals with polynomial differential equations in the plane. It remains unsolved even for quadratic polynomials. There were several attempts to solve it that failed. Yet the problem inspired significant progress in the geometric theory of planar differential equations, as well as bifurcation theory, normal forms, foliations and some topics in algebraic geometry. The dramatic history of the problem, as well as related, developments, are presented.Yu. Ilyashenko. Centennial History of Hilbert's 16th Problem.

In March 2001, Academic Periodical Press (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) started the publication of a new Journal Nonlinear Dynamics and Systems Theory. The Journal published twice per year in the months of June and December. The preface to the Journal is available at http://www.sciencearea.com.ua. For further details on this journal contact Arkadiy Tyshenko (info@tv-project.com.ua).

To celebrate the 80th birthday of Professor Mark Vishik who made fundamental contributions to dynamical systems, the journal Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems is to devote a special volume consisting of invited contributions from the leading mathematicians and scientists working in this broad field.
Guest Editors: V. Chepyzhov, M. Efendiev, Alain Miranville, and Roger Temam .
