Transforming ODEs and PDEs from radical coefficients to rational coefficients (Q2025846)

Based on previous work of the authors on reparametrization of radical algebraic varieties, in this paper the authors present an algorithm that transforms, if possible, a given ordinary differential equation (ODE) or a partial differential equation (PDE) with radical function coefficients into one with rational coefficients. For this purpose, the authors consider a rational change of variables so that solutions correspond one-to-one. It is shown that the method also applies to systems of linear ODEs.
