摘要
We propose a method for constructing first integrals of higher order ordinary differential equations. In particular third, fourth and fifth order equations of the form x((n)) = h (x, x((n-1))) x over dot are considered. The relation of the proposed method to local and nonlocal symmetries are discussed. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Inc.
