Extract

The paper discusses the nature of the singularities at any finite point t = t0 of real solutions x(t), y(t) of the system of differential equations x′ = P(x, y), y′ = Q(x, y) in which P, Q are polynomials in both x and y. Its main interest is in cases when the leading terms of P, Q are of the same degree n. Conditions are given under which the only possible singularities are algebraic poles and pseudo-poles. Conditions are also given under which the only possible singularities are of wildly oscillatory type.
