Review text

We consider mechanical systems that admit an invariant of motion that is polynomial in velocity and is of order at most two. We obtain conditions, which the potential of such a system (generalizing the Darboux equation) must satisfy, and a formula that expresses the force function of the system in terms of the kinetic energy and the invariant in case the invariant is regular.
