Abstract

We consider the problem of symbolic integration of G(x,y(x))dx\int G(x,y(x)) dx where GG is rational and y(x)y(x) is a non algebraic solution of a differential equation y(x)=F(x,y(x))y'(x)=F(x,y(x)) with FF rational. As yy is transcendental, the Galois action generates a family of parametrized integrals I(x,h)=G(x,y(x,h))dxI(x,h)=\int G(x,y(x,h)) dx. We prove that I(x,h)I(x,h) is either differentially transcendental or up to parametrization change satisfies a linear differential equation in hh with constant coefficients, called a telescoper. This notion generalizes elementary integration. We present an algorithm to compute such telescoper given a priori bound on their order and degree ord,N\hbox{ord},N with complexity O~(Nω+1ordω1+Nordω+3)\tilde{O}(N^{\omega+1} \hbox{ord}^{\omega-1}+N\hbox{ord}^{\omega+3}). For the specific foliation y=lnxy=\ln x, a more complete algorithm without an a priori bound is presented. Oppositely, non existence of telescoper is proven for a classical planar Hamiltonian system. As an application, we present an algorithm which always finds, if they exist, the Liouvillian solutions of a planar rational vector field, given a bound large enough for some notion of complexity height.
