Abstract

We study the integrability of two-dimensional autonomous systems in the plane of the form $\dotx=-y+X_s(x,y)$, $\doty=x+Y_s(x,y)$, where X_s(x,y) and Y_s(x,y) are homogeneous polynomials of degree s with s≥2. First, we give a method for finding polynomial particular solutions and next we characterize a class of integrable systems which have a null divergence factor given by a quadratic polynomial in the variable $(x^2+y^2)^{s/2-1}$ with coefficients being functions of tan^{−1}(y/x).
