In the present talk we tackle the problem of determining the multiplicity of periodic orbit as limit cycle of a planar differential system. We consider the particular case of a circumference as periodic orbit. We show that the conditions of multiplicity can be almost algebraically solvable. There are parameters in which these conditions depend transcendentally, as happens in the degenerate center-focus problem. Even though this difficulty, these transcendental dependence can be, in some sense, controlled because only a basis of fundamental functions appear. The appearance of this fundamental basis opens the path to approach these types of problems. We present several examples of families for which these conditions can be computed.
