In this paper we classify the centers and the isochronous centers of certain polynomial differential systems in R2 of degree d ≥ 5 odd that incomplex notation can be written as z˙ = (λ + i)z + (zz¯)d-52 (Az5 + Bz4z¯ + Cz3z¯2 + Dz2z¯3 + Ezz¯4 + Fz¯5),where λ ∈ R and A, B, C, D, E, F ∈ C. Note that if d = 5 we obtain the full class of polynomial differential systems of the form a linear system with homogeneous polynomial nonlinearities of degree 5. Our study uses algorithms of computational algebra based on the Groebner basis theory and modular arithmetics for simplifying the computations.
