Abstract

We discuss planar polynomial vector fields with prescribed Darboux integrating factors, in a nondegenerate affine geometric setting. We establish a reduction principle which transfers the problem to polynomial solutions of certain meromorphic linear systems, and show that the space of vector fields with a given integrating factor, modulo a subspace of explicitly known "standard" vector fields, has finite dimension. For several classes of examples we determine this space explicitly. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
