[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00060.] The author proves the following striking theorem. Let \(K\) be a differential field and \({\mathcal L}\in K[d/dz]\) of degree \(n\), irreducible over \(K[d/dz]\). Let \(g\in K\) and suppose \({\mathcal L}y=g\) has no solution in \(K\). Then, for any solution \(f\) of \({\mathcal L}y=g\) (in some extension of \(K\)) the derivatives \(f,f',\dots,f^{(n-1)}\) are algebraically independent over \(K\). The proof is surprisingly simple. It uses some differential Galois theory with an argument resembling arguments from Kummer theory.
