Complex-linearization of a class of systems of second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has already been studied with complex symmetry analysis. Linearization of this class has been achieved earlier by complex method, however,…

How many free variables do we really need to build a credible model of a physical system? Currently there is no systematic approach; we appeal to some physical principles, tune free variables by comparing with canonical cases, and hope our…

We study singularity formation in nonlinear differential equations of order $m\leqslant 2$, $y^{(m)}=A(x^{-1},y)$. We assume $A$ is analytic at $(0,0)$ and $\partial_y A(0,0)=\lambda\ne 0$ (say, $\lambda=(-1)^m$). If $m=1$ we assume…
