Abstract: Most evolution equations %or wave equations are partially integrable and, in order to explicitly integrate all possible cases, there exist several methods of complex analysis, but none is optimal. The theory of Nevanlinna and Wiman-Valiron on the growth of the meromorphic solutions gives predictions and bounds, but it is not constructive and restricted to meromorphic solutions. The Painleve' approach via the a priori singularities of the solutions gives no bounds but it is often (not always) constructive. It seems that an adequate combination of the two methods could yield much more output in terms of explicit (i.e. closed form) analytic solutions. We review this question, mainly taking as an example the chaotic equation of Kuramoto and Sivashinsky nu u' + b u + mu u' + u^2/2 +A=0, nu nonzero, with nu,b,mu,A constants.
