A class of non-linear ODEs with movable algebraic singularities (Q6826329)

This paper describes a class of ordinary differential equations, the solutions of which have a simple singularity structure. More precisely, a class of non-linear second-order rational ODEs is studied to show that any movable singularity of a solution that can be reached along a finite length curve is an algebraic branch point. Some conditions need to be imposed on the equations including the existence of certain formal algebraic series solutions. An example is discussed demonstrating the degree of restriction for the parameters of the equation.
