    The center-focus problem is revisited for planar analytic vector fields using the matricial formulation, and a direct computational method is given for sufficient conditions of a center. The method is applied to systems with a linear center perturbed by homogeneous polynomials giving the first necessary conditions. A simple proof of the Poincaré-Lyapunov theorem is also given.
