Abstract

There exist several methods for computing exact solutions of algebraic differential equations. Most of the methods, however, do not ensure existence and uniqueness of the solutions and might fail after several steps, or are restricted to linear equations. The authors have presented in previous works a method to overcome this problem for autonomous first order algebraic ordinary differential equations and formal Puiseux series solutions and algebraic solutions. In the first case, all solutions can uniquely be represented by a sufficiently large truncation and in the latter case by its minimal polynomial.

The main contribution of this paper is the implementation, in a MAPLE package named FirstOrderSolve, of the algorithmic ideas presented therein. More precisely, all formal Puiseux series and algebraic solutions, including the generic and singular solutions, are computed and described uniquely. The computation strategy is to reduce the given differential equation to a simpler one by using local parametrizations and the already known degree bounds.
