Synopsis

There exists a relation (1.5) between any n + 2 distinct particular solutions of the differential equation

In this paper, we show that when and only when n = 0, 1 and 2, this relation can be represented by the following form:

provided the form of this relation function Φn depends only on n and is independent of the coefficients of the equation. This result reveals interesting properties of these non-linear differential equations.
