New integrability properties of a family of sequences of ordinary differential equations, which contains the Riccati and Abel chains as the most simple sequences, are studied. The determination of n generalized symmetries of the nth-order equation in each chain provides, without any kind of integration, n-1 functionally independent first integrals of the equation. A remaining first integral arises by a quadrature by using a Jacobi last multiplier that is expressed in terms of the preceding equation in the corresponding sequence. The complete set of n first integrals is used to obtain the exact general solution of the nth-order equation of each sequence. The results are applied to derive directly the exact general solution of any equation in the Riccati and Abel chains. Comment: 16 pages

A method for 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. We also introduce a novel way of deriving linearizing transformations from the first integrals to linearize the second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations to free particle equations. We illustrate the theory with several potentially important examples and show that our procedure is widely applicable.

The Ideal

For a class of exterior ideals, we present a method associating first integrals of the characteristic distributions to symmetries of the ideal. The method is applied, under some assumptions, to the study of first integrals of ordinary differential equations and first order partial differential equations as well as to the determination of first integrals for integrable distributions of vector fields.

Abstract In this paper the fundamental concept (due to Euler, 1734) of how to make a first order ordinary differential equation exact by means of integrating factors, is extended to n-th order (n ≥ 2) ordinary differential equations and to systems of first order ordinary differential equations. For new classes of differential equations first integrals or complete solutions can be constructed. Also a perturbation method based on integrating factors can be developed. To show how this perturbation method works the method is applied to the well-known Van der Pol equation.
