| Abstract: | We introduce several techniques which allow to simplify the expression of the cofactor of Darboux polynomials of polynomial differential systems in R^n. We apply these techniques to some well-known systems when n = 2, 3, 4. We also propose a general method for computing Darboux polynomials in the plane. As an application we prove that a family of potential systems, that includes the van der Pol one, has no Darboux polynomials, giving in particular a new simple proof that the van der Pol limit cycle is not algebraic. |
