Abstract

For an nn--dimensional local analytic differential system x˙=Ax+f(x)\dot x=Ax+f(x) with f(x)=O(x2)f(x)=O(|x|^2), the Poincar\'e nonintegrability theorem states that if the eigenvalues of AA are not resonant, the system does not have an analytic or a formal first integral in a neighborhood of the origin. This result was extended in 2003 to the case when AA admits one zero eigenvalue and the other are non--resonant: for n=2n=2 the system has an analytic first integral at the origin if and only if the origin is a non--isolated singular point; for n>2n>2 the system has a formal first integral at the origin if and only if the origin is not an isolated singular point. However, the question of \emph{whether the system has an analytic first integral at the origin provided that the origin is not an isolated singular point} remains open.
