Integrability of the double pendulum -- the Ramis' question

Abstract

In this short note we address the problem of integrability of a double pendulum in the constant gravity field. We show its non-integrability using the combination of algebraic and numerical approaches, namely we compute the non-commuting generators of the monodromy group along a particular solution obtained numerically.
