On the polynomial solutions of the polynomial differential equations \({y \; y}' = a_0(x) + a_1(x) y + a_2(x) y^2 + \ldots + a_n(x) y^{n}\) (Q1985930)

The study of special solutions (as polynomial or rational solutions) of differential equations is of main interest. In this paper, the authors consider differential equations of the form \[yy'=a_{0}(x)+a_{1}(x)y+a_{2}(x)y^{2}+\cdots+a_{n}(x)y^{n}.\] They provide an upper bound for the number of polynomial solutions of this class of differential equations, and for some particular classes they study properties of their polynomial solutions.
