Let \((F,D)\) be a differential field of characteristic zero with algebraically closed field of constants \(C\). Consider a linear differential operator \(L=D^n+a_{n-1}D^{n-1}+\dots+a_0\), where \(a_0,\dots,a_{n-1}\in F\). Let \(E=PV(F,Ly=0)\) be the Picard--Vessiot extension of \(F\) associated with the operator \(L\). The authors consider the question of whether it is possible to solve the equation \(Ly=0\) by means of linear differential equations of lower order. They answer this question by giving some necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the Galois group \(G(E|F)\) and its Lie algebra \(A(E|F)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0944.00033].
