In this paper we improve, by almost doubling, the existing lower bound for the number of limit cycles of the family of complex differential equations with three monomials, z˙=Azz¯+Bzz¯+Czz¯, being k,l,m,n,p,q non-negative integers and A,B,C∈C. More concretely, if N=max(k+l,m+n,p+q) and H(N)∈N∪{∞} denotes the maximum number of limit cycles of the above equations, we show that for N≥4, H(N)≥N-3 and that for some values of N this new lower bound is N+1. We also present examples with many limit cycles and different configurations. Finally, we show that H(2)≥2 and study in detail the quadratic case with three monomials proving in some of them non-existence, uniqueness or existence of exactly two limit cycles.
