On Abel's Identity

Combinatorics 2025-11-05 v1 Classical Analysis and ODEs

Abstract

We provide a natural duality that matches, in reverse order, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the Maurer-Cartan of the Wronskian matrix with the coefficients of the original differential equation. Abel's identity is recovered as a corollary.
