Abstract: In this paper, we characterize all the irreducible Darboux polynomials and polynomial first integrals of FitzHugh-Nagumo (F-N) system. The method of the weight homogeneous polynomials and the characteristic curves is widely used to give a complete classification of Darboux polynomials of a system. However, this method does not work for F-N system. Here by considering the Darboux polynomials of an assistant system associated to F-N system, we classified the invariant algebraic surfaces of F-N system. Our results show that there is no invariant algebraic surface of F-N system in the biological parameters region.


The authors consider three-dimensional systems of the form $\dot{x}=z=P(x,y,z)$, $\dot{y}=b(x-dy)=Q(x,y,z)$, $\dot{z}=x(x-1)(x-a)+y+cz=R(x,y,z)$. A Darboux polynomial $f$ for such a system is defined by the condition $(\partial f/\partial x)P+(\partial f/\partial y)Q+(\partial f/\partial z)R=kf$, where $k(x,y,z)$ is called a cofactor of $f$. The authors characterize all irreducible Darboux polynomials and polynomial first integrals of the FitzHugh-Nagumo system by the characteristic curves method which involves the theory of weight-homogeneous polynomials. Although used to give a complete classification of Darboux polynomials of some systems, this method fails for the FitzHugh-Nagumo system, so to classify the latter's invariant algebraic surfaces an ``assistant system is introduced.
