Computation of rational solutions for a first-order nonlinear differential equation

Djilali Behloul, Sui Sun Cheng

Abstract:
In this article, we study differential equations of the form $y'=\sum A_i(x)y^i/\sum B_i(x)y^i$ which can be elliptic, hyperbolic, parabolic, Riccati, or quasi-linear. We show how rational solutions can be computed in a systematic manner. Such results are most likely to find applications in the theory of limit cycles as indicated by Gine et al [4].
