Abstract

In this paper, we explain how to compute the Lie algebra of the differential Galois group of a reducible linear differential system. We achieve this by showing how to transform a block-triangular linear differential system into a Kolchin-Kovacic reduced form. We combine this with other reduction results to propose a general algorithm for computing a reduced form of a general linear differential system. In particular, this provides directly the Lie algebra of the differential Galois group without an a priori computation of this Galois group.
