Rational linear forms of linearizable ordinary differential equations
Abstract
Every scalar ordinary differential equation of order at least three with rational right-hand side that is locally linearizable by a point transformation admits a linear form with rational coefficients over the same coefficient field. We prove this by restricting the derived symmetry algebra to a coordinate line and recovering a scalar differential operator from rational symmetry-jet data. The construction uses differential elimination and linear algebra; it does not require the symmetry generators or a linearizing transformation to be solved for. A single integer parameter suffices to choose the line.
