Polynomial first integrals of quadratic systems. (Q1414923): Difference between revisions

The paper contains a classification and the topological phase portraits of all quadratic systems having minimal polynomial first integrals of degree at most 4. The authors prove the existence of minimal polynomial first integrals of any degree for quadratic systems and show that such systems having more than three invariant straight lines have no minimal polynomial first integrals of degree larger than 1.
