An ordinary differential equation

(1)

where is a positive integer and the function is analytic at , , . It was shown by C. Briot and T. Bouquet [1] that any equation of the type

where and and are analytic at the origin, can be reduced, by means of a special local changes of the variables, to a finite number of equations of type (1). Equation (1) always (except for the case where and is a natural number) has a unique solution in the form of a formal power series:

(2)

which converges for sufficiently small if , and can diverge for all if . In (1), let

then, for the series (2) to converge, it is necessary and sufficient to meet conditions concerning the coefficients of the Taylor series of and ; all the coefficients are included in these conditions, so that the existence or non-existence of an analytic solution of equation (1) cannot be proved by any partial sum of the Taylor series of (cf. [2], [3]). For the case of a general function there are such conditions, [4]. Accordingly, the Briot–Bouquet equation is sometimes referred to as equation (1) with .
