The Michelson system is neither global analytic, nor Darboux integrable (Q964899): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the polynomial differential system with a real parameter \(c\) \[ \dot{x}=y,\quad \dot{y}=z, \quad \dot{z}=c^2-y-\frac{x^2}{2} \tag{1} \] and show that this system is neither global analytic nor Darboux integrable for any value of \(c\). The main results of the article are contained in the assertions: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[1.] For any \(c \in \mathbb{R}\) the system \((1)\) has no local analytic first integrals at the singular point \((-\sqrt{2}c,0,0)\), and consequently has no global analytic first integrals; \item[2.] For all \(c \in \mathbb{R}\) the system \((1)\) has no polynomial first integrals; \item[3.] For all \(c \in \mathbb{R}\) the system \((1)\) has no Darboux first integrals. \end{itemize}}
