Abstract:
A derivation on a polynomial ring $K[x,y]$ is said to be integrable if there exists a second derivation that commutes with it and is $K[x,y]$-independent of it. If a derivation is integrable, then the data provided by the second derivation can be used to solve the corresponding differential equation. We present recent results on integrability.
