Extract

We study the existence of Liouvillian first integrals for the generalized Liénard polynomial differential systems of the form xʹ = y, yʹ = –g(x) – f(x)y, where f(x) = 3Q(x)Qʹ(x)P(x) + Q(x)2 Pʹ(x) and g(x) = Q(x)Qʹ(x)(Q(x)2 P(x)2 – 1) with P,Q ∈ ℂ[x]. This class of generalized Liénard polynomial differential systems has the invariant algebraic curve (y + Q(x)P(x))2Q(x)2 = 0 of hyperelliptic type.
