Abstract

A generalization of the already studied transformations of the linear differential equation into a system of the first order equations is given. The proposed transformation gives possibility to get new forms of the N-dimensional system of first order equations that can be useful for analysis of the solutions of the N-th order differential equations. In particular, for the third-order linear equation the nonlinear second-order equation that plays the same role as the Riccati equation for second-order linear equation is obtained.
