We show how to find all the integrating factors and corresponding first integrals for any
system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Integrating factors are shown to be all
solutions of both the adjoint system of the linearised system of ordinary differential equations
and a system that represents an extra adjoint-invariance condition. We present an explicit
construction formula to find the resulting first integrals in terms of integrating factors, and
discuss techniques for finding integrating factors. In particular, we show how to utilize known …
We show how to find all the integrating factors and corresponding first integrals for any system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Integrating factors are shown to be all solutions of both the adjoint system of the linearised system of ordinary differential equations and a system that represents an extra adjoint-invariance condition. We present an explicit construction formula to find the resulting first integrals in terms of integrating factors, and discuss techniques for finding integrating factors. In particular, we show how to utilize known first integrals and symmetries to find new integrating factors. Illustrative examples are given.
