Abstract

We give upper bounds for the differential Nullstellensatz in the case of ordinary systems of differential algebraic equations over any field of constants KK of characteristic 00. Let x\vec{x} be a set of nn differential variables, f\vec{f} a finite family of differential polynomials in the ring K{x}K\{\vec{x}\} and fK{x}f\in K\{\vec{x}\} another polynomial which vanishes at every solution of the differential equation system f=0\vec{f}=0 in any differentially closed field containing KK. Let d:=max{deg(f),deg(f)}d:=\max\{\deg(\vec{f}), \deg(f)\} and ϵ:=max{2,ord(f),ord(f)}\epsilon:=\max\{2,{\rm{ord}}(\vec{f}), {\rm{ord}}(f)\}. We show that fMf^M belongs to the algebraic ideal generated by the successive derivatives of f\vec{f} of order at most L=(nϵd)2c(nϵ)3L = (n\epsilon d)^{2^{c(n\epsilon)^3}}, for a suitable universal constant c>0c>0, and M=dn(ϵ+L+1)M=d^{n(\epsilon +L+1)}. The previously known bounds for LL and MM are not elementary recursive.
