Factorization method for some inhomogeneous Lienard equations

Abstract

"The factorization of inhomogeneous Li\'enard equations is performed showing that through the factorization conditions involved in the method one can obtain forcing terms for which closed-form solutions exist. Because of the reduction of order feature of factorization, the solutions are simultaneously solutions of first-order differential equations with polynomial nonlinearities. Several illustrative examples of such solutions are presented, generically having rational parts and consequently singularities."
