Jets of differential equations having integrable extensions (Q4236014)

This paper is devoted to a necessary and sufficient condition for an \(n\)-jet of type \[ \dot x= -qx+ P_n(x,y)+\dots, \qquad \dot y=py+ Q_n(x,y)+\dots, \] to have integrable extension, where \(p,q\) are relatively prime positive integers, \(P_n\), \(Q_n\) are polynomials in \(x,y\) of degree \(n\), without linear terms, and the dots stand for terms of higher order than \(n\). As a corollary, the author re-obtains a well-known result of algebraic solvability of the centre-focus problem in the class of monodromic singular germs with nonvanishing 1-jet. As a by-product of that result, the author proves the functional independence of the focal values of the singularity.
