Collection of papers related to finding
integrating factors and first integrals for
second and higher order differential
equations
December 21, 2025 Compiled on December 21, 2025 at 7:16pm
These are collection of papers related to finding integrating factors for higher order
differential equations. Mainly for second order ode’s and higher. As I was studying this
subject I thought it will be good idea to have any related paper I find on the subject in
one place for easy access. The HTML version has only the outlines. Only the PDF version
has the actual papers shown. These papers also includes ones on Prelle-Singer
algorithm.
