Linear Differential Systems with Small Coefficients: Various Types of Solvability and their Verification

Abstract

We study the problem of solvability of linear differential systems with small coefficients in the Liouvillian sense (or, by generalized quadratures). For a general system, this problem is equivalent to that of the solvability of the Lie algebra of the differential Galois group of the system. However, the dependence of this Lie algebra on the system coefficients remains unknown. We show that for the particular class of systems with non-resonant irregular singular points that have sufficiently small coefficient matrices, the problem is reduced to that of solvability of the explicit Lie algebra generated by the coefficient matrices. This extends the corresponding Ilyashenko-Khovanskii theorem obtained for linear differential systems with Fuchsian singular points. We also give some examples illustrating the practical verification of the presented criteria of solvability by using general procedures implemented in Maple.
