We present several results on the determination of the number and distribution of limit cycles or centers for planar systems of differential equations. In most cases, the study of a recurrence is one of the key points of our approach. These results include the counting of the number of configurations of stabilities of nested limit cycles, the study of the number of different configurations of a given number of limit cycles, the proof of some quadratic lower bounds for Hilbert numbers and some questions about the number of centers for planar polynomial vector fields.
