On the complete integrability and linearization of certain second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations

A method of finding general solutions of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations by extending the Prelle-Singer (PS) method is briefly discussed. We explore integrating factors, integrals of motion and the general solution associated with several dynamical systems discussed in the current literature by employing our modifications and extensions of the PS method. In addition to the above we introduce a novel way of deriving linearizing transformations from the first integrals to linearize the second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations to free particle equation. We illustrate the theory with several potentially important examples and show that our procedure is widely applicable.Comment: Proceedings of the Royal Society London Series A (Accepted for publication) 25 pages, one tabl

Rational general solutions of algebraic ordinary differential equations

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an alge-braic ODE to have a rational type general solution. For an autonomous first order ODE, we give an algorithm to com-pute a rational general solution if it exists. The algorithm is based on the relation between rational solutions of the first order ODE and rational parametrizations of the plane algebraic curve defined by the first order ODE and Padé approximants

We provide necessary conditions, for the existence of rational solutions,\ud on the degree and on the structure at infinity of the associated algebraic curve. Furthermore,\ud from a rational parametrization of a planar projection of the corresponding\ud space curve one deduces, either by derivation or by lifting the planar parametrization,\ud the existence and actual computation of all rational solutions if they exist. Moreover, if\ud the differential polynomials are defined over the rational numbers, we can express the\ud rational solutions over the same field of coefficients.Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM
