Integrability of planar polynomial differential systems through linear differential equations

In this work we consider rational ordinary differential equations dy/dx = Q(x, y)/P(x, y), with Q(x, y) and P(x, y) coprime polynomials with real coefficients. We give a method to construct equations of this type for which a first integral can be expressed from two independent solutions of a second-...

Sumario:In this work we consider rational ordinary differential equations dy/dx = Q(x, y)/P(x, y), with Q(x, y) and P(x, y) coprime polynomials with real coefficients. We give a method to construct equations of this type for which a first integral can be expressed from two independent solutions of a second-order homogeneous linear differential equation. This first integral is, in general, given by a non Liouvillian function. We show that all the known families of quadratic systems with an irreducible invariant algebraic curve of arbitrarily high degree and without a rational first integral, can be constructed by using this method. We also present a new example of this kind of family. We give an analogous method for constructing rational equations but by means of a linear differential equation of first order.
