The quadratic differential system
with parameters: \(a = 0.1\)
has the following phase portrait done with P4. If you want, you may download the P4 file here.
This is the second most common one. It is proved statistically in resenhas that 25,42% of quadratic systems have this portrait which happens to be the same proportion as \(QS12_{1}^{(0)}\), and the counting of cases is even greater here, but not conclusive. However, since 2,1% of the portraits this portrait have limit cycles, then this portrait without limit cycles stays second. Anyway, both together apply for more than 50% of the parameter space.
This phase portrait appears in J. C. Artés, J. Llibre and D. Schlomiuk (emph{ Internat. J. Bifur. Chaos Appl. Sci. Engrg.}, textbf{16} (2006), {3127--3194}) featuring a weak focus of second order. Since the portrait is of codimension 0, a configuration structurally equivalent to \(QS23_{1}^{(0)}\) could potentially exhibit up to two limit cycles (or a compound double limit cycle) bifurcating from the focus.
