Explicitly solvable systems of two autonomous first-order Ordinary Differential Equations with homogeneous quadratic right-hand sides

After tersely reviewing the various meanings that can be given to the property of a system of nonlinear ODEs to be solvable, we identify a special case of the system of two first-order ODEs with homogeneous quadratic right-hand sides which is explicitly solvable. It is identified by 2 explicit algebraic constraints on the 6 a priori arbitrary parameters that characterize this system. Simple extensions of this model to cases with nonhomogeneous quadratic right-hand sides are also identified, including isochronous cases.Comment: 18 page

Explicitly Solvable Systems of First-order Ordinary Differential Equations with Polynomial Right-hand Sides, and Their Periodic Variants

In this Letter we identify special systems of (an arbitrary number) N of first-order Ordinary Differential Equations with homogeneous polynomials of arbitrary degree M on their right-hand sides, which feature very simple explicit solutions; as well as variants of these systems--with right-hand sides no more homogeneous--which feature periodic solutions. A novelty of these findings is to consider special systems characterized by constraints involving both their parameters and their initial data.Comment: 4 page
