The origin of this system is a nilpotent and monodromic isolated singular point. We prove for this system the existence of a Lyapunov function and we solve theoretically the center problem for such system. Finally, as an application of the theoretical procedure, we characterize the centers of several subfamilies}, organization = {This work has been partially supported by de Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología, Plan Nacional I+D+I co-financed with FEDER funds, in the frame of the project MTM2004-04066 and by the Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa de la Junta de Andalucía (FQM-276)}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {The center problem for a family of systems of differential equations having a nilpotent singular point}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmaa.2007.07.043}, author = {Algaba Durán, Antonio and García García, Cristóbal and Reyes Columé, Manuel}, }
