In this paper we mainly study the necessary conditions for the existence of
functionally independent generalized rational first integrals of ordinary
differential systems via the resonances. The main results extend some of the
previous related ones, for instance the classical Poincar\'e's one \cite{Po},
the Furta's one, part of Chen's ones, and the Shi's one. The key point in the
proof of our main results is that functionally independence of generalized
rational functions implies the functionally independence of their lowest order
rational homogeneous terms.Comment: 22. Journal of Differential Equations, 201
