1. Introduction and statement of the main results Nonlinear chaotic systems have attracted much attention in economics since it has been apparent that they are good models to understand the highly complex dynamics of real financial and economics systems, particularly due to the fact that they may exhibit a very rich dynamics together with a high sensitivity to the initial conditions. Thus, it is not surprising that in recent studies there has been a growing interest in the applications of nonlinear dynamics to economic modeling. We consider in this paper a modification of the wellknown Philips continuous time multiplier-accelerator model in [19] (see also [14] for a related discussion and the references therein). We consider that consumption C depends on the income as C(t) = c Y(t) with 0 < c 6 1, where Y is net income. The capital stock Kd depends linearly on the income as Kd(t) = v Y(t) with v > 0. It is assumed that firms change their capital stocks as soon as the actual stock differs from the desired one

ð1Þ

with I as net investment. The coefficient b is an adjustment parameter and expresses the reaction speed of investment in response to a discrepancy between actual and desired stock. We assume that income changes according to the excess demand, C(t) + I(t)  Y(t) in the goods market.

with the coefficient a being an adjustment parameter and such that 1  av > 0. Differentiating (1) with respect to the time t we get

_ I_ ¼ bðv YðtÞ  IðtÞÞ and then from (2) we obtain the linear second order differential equation

We consider in this paper a modification of (4) in which b = h(y) is a function depending on the income, that is, investment responds linearly to gaps between the desired and the actual capital stock. For definiteness we will assume that h is a polynomial of degree greater or equal than one and with h(0) > 0. We stress that the main advantage of nonlinear cycle models, like the one presented in this paper, over linear models like the original Philips model, is that the linear ones do not rely on precise parameter constellations in order to generate persistent fluctuations, and thus provide worse models for real financial and economic systems. A first step to nonlinearize the Philips model consists precisely in considering b as a polynomial of degree greater or equal than one (and not only a constant). Then (4) becomes

that we call a polynomial modification of the Philips model. Here the dot denotes derivative with respect to t. We note that system (5) is a generalized Liénard equation. We want to understand its complex dynamics by characterizing the existence or not of first integrals. Note that the existence of one first integral for system (5) solves completely the problem in the sense that the phase portratis are completely determined. In general the problem of the characterization of a first integral is a very difficult problem. The vector field of system (5) is

X ¼x

Let U  R2 be an open and dense set in R2 . We say that the non-constant function H : R2 ! R is a first integral of the polynomial vector field X on U, if H(x(t), y(t)) = constant for all values of t for which the solution (x(t), y(t)) of X is defined on U. Clearly H is a first integral of X on U if and only if X H ¼ 0 on U. An analytic first integral is a first integral which is an analytic function. As a particular case, a first integral which is a polynomial is called a polynomial first integral. A Liouvillian first integral is a first integral H which is a Liouvillian function, that is, roughly speaking which can be obtained ‘‘by quadratures’’ of elementary functions. For a precise definition see [20]. The study of the Liouvillian first integrals is a classical problem of the integrability theory of the differential equations which goes back to Liouville, see for details again [20]. As far as we know the Liouvillian and analytic first integrals of some multi-parameter family of planar polynomial differential systems has only been classified for few differential systems, see for instance [3,7–13,15–18]. Theorem 1. System (5) with c = 1 has a polynomial first integral of the form

It is easy to verify that the function in (6) is a polynomial first integral of system (5) with c = 1.

say that S = 0 is an invariant algebraic curve of the vector field X associated to system (5) if it satisfies

the polynomial K ¼ Kðx; yÞ 2 C½x; y is called the cofactor of S = 0 and has degree at most n, where n is the degree of h, i.e., n = deg h. By assumptions n P 1. We also say that S is a Darboux polynomial of system (5). Note that a polynomial first integral is a Darboux polynomial with zero cofactor. The invariant algebraic curves are important because a sufficient number of them forces the existence of a first integral. This result is the basis of the Darboux theory of integrability, see for instance [3,5,7]. An exponential factor E of system (5) is a function of the form E ¼ expðg 0 =g 1 Þ R C with g 0 ; g 1 2 C½x; y coprime satisfying that

x

@E @E  ððað1  cÞ þ ð1  av ÞhðyÞÞx þ að1  cÞhðyÞyÞ ¼ LE; @y @x

for some polynomial L = L(x,y) of degree at most n = deg h, called the cofactor of E. We will use the following known result whose proof and geometrical meaning is given in [5]. Proposition 3. The following statements hold. (a) If E = exp(g0/g1) is an exponential factor for the polynomial system (5) and g1 is not a constant polynomial, then g1 = 0 is an invariant algebraic curve. (b) Eventually eg0 can be an exponential factor, coming from the multiplicity of the infinite invariant straight line. We note that Eq. (5) is a generalized Liénard system of the form

The following two results on generalized Liénard systems characterize the existence of analytic first integrals and of algebraic curves. For a proof of the first one see [2] and for a proof of the second one see [6]. We set

Theorem 2. The following holds for system (5) with c – 1.

Theorem 4 (Center theorem for analytic Liénard systems). Let f and g in system (7) be analytic functions defined in a neighborhood of zero with g(0) = 0 and g0 (0) > 0. Then the generalized Liénard system (7) has an analytic first integral if and only if F(y) = U(G(y)), for some analytic function U with U(0) = 0.

(a) It has no analytic first integrals. (b) It has no Liouvillian first integrals. We recall that on Theorem 2 only conditions on h(0) are required while other than this, h can be any polynomial of degree greater than or equal than one. The proof of Theorem 2 is given in Section 3 and in Section 2 we introduce some preliminary results.

for some constant C > 0 and some integer n P 1. Since h(0) > 0, we are under the assumptions of Theorem 4. Hence, system (5) has a center at the origin if and only if there exists an analytic function U with U(0) = 0 such that

We will see that this is not possible. We proceed by contradiction. Assume that there exists, indeed, an analytic function U = U(u) with U(0) = 0 such that (8) holds. Then if we write it as a Taylor series as

UðGðyÞÞ ¼ a1 að1  cÞhð0Þ However,

FðyÞ ¼ að1  cÞy þ ð1  av Þ

ð12Þ We consider the two cases separately. First case. In this case, the terms of degree n + 1 in (11) yield

að1  cÞ ¼ a1 ð1  av Þ;

that is a1 ¼ 

hðyÞ dy

að1  cÞ : 1  av

Now evaluating (11) on y = 0 we obtain

¼ að1  cÞy þ ð1  av Þhð0Þy þ h:o:tðyÞ;

a0 ðað1  cÞ þ a1 þ ð1  av Þhð0ÞÞ ¼ 0;

and in order that (8) holds we must have, in particular, that the terms of degree one are zero, that is,

að1  cÞ þ ð1  av Þhð0Þ ¼ 0; i:e: hð0Þ ¼ 



að1  cÞhðyÞy ¼ a1 a0  a1 y þ að1  cÞy þ ð1  av Þ hðyÞdy :

að1  cÞ ; 1  av

which is not possible due to the fact that a(1  c) (1  av) > 0 and h(0) > 0. This concludes the proof of statement (a) of Theorem 4. 3.2. Proof of Statement (b) of Theorem 2

that is, either a0 = 0 or a1 = a(1  c)  (1  av)h(0). If a0 = 0, computing the terms of degree one in (11) we get

að1  cÞhð0Þ ¼ a1 ðað1  cÞ þ a1 þ ð1  av Þhð0ÞÞ: Using the value of a1 in (13) and simplifying by a(1  c), we obtain

hð0Þ ¼

First we study the Darboux polynomials of system (5). We have the following proposition.

that is

Proposition 6. The unique Darboux polynomials f of system (5) with c – 1 are:

which is not possible due to the fact that a > 0, c – 1 and av > 0. If a0 – 0, then a1 = a(1  c)  (1  av)h(0). Moreover, using again (13) we can rewrite Eq. (11) as

with cofactor K = a(1  c)(n + 1)/(1  av). This completes the proof of the proposition. h

If deg h P 2, then the coefficient of degree n in (14) yields a0(1  av) = 0 which is not possible. If deg h = 1, that is, h(y) = h(0) + h0 (0)y with h0 (0) – 0, then (14) becomes, after simplifying by y,

We first recall that a non-constant complex function R : C2 ! C is an integrating factor of the polynomial vector field X on U, if one of the following three equivalent conditions holds

From the Darboux theory of integrability we have the next result proved, for instance, in [4]. Theorem 7. Suppose that the polynomial vector field X of degree m defined in C2 admits p invariant algebraic curves fi = 0 with cofactors Ki for i = 1, . . . ,p, and q exponential factors Ej = exp(gj/hj) with (gj,hj) = 1 and cofactors Lj for j = 1, . . . , q.

is an integrating factor of the vector field X . To prove the results related with Liouvillian first integrals we use the following result proved in [1,20]. Theorem 8. The polynomial differential system (5) has a Liouvillian first integral if and only if it has an integrating factor of Darboux type (see (16)). In order that system (5) has a Liouvillian first integral, by Theorem 8, system (5) must have an integrating factor of Darboux type. From Proposition 6, if h is neither of the form (9) nor of the form (10), then system (5) has no Darboux polynomials and thus using Proposition 3 if it has an exponential factor it must be of the form E = exp(lg0) with g 0 2 C½x; y n C, l 2 C and cofactor lL of degree n. Then system (5) has an integrating factor of Darboux type if and only if

lL ¼ að1  cÞ þ ð1  av ÞhðyÞ; l 2 C: Thus, using that E = expG(0) = exp(lg0) is an exponential factor, it must satisfy

Then in view of Proposition 3 it can have an exponential factor of the form: either E = exp(g0) or E ¼ expðg 0 =F m 1 Þ with m P 1 and such that F1 does not divide g 0 2 C½x; y. We first prove that system (5) has no exponential factors of the second kind. Assume that system (5) has an exponential factor of the form E ¼ expðg 0 =F m 1 Þ with m P 1 and that F1 does not divide g 0 2 C½x; y. We introduce the change of variables X = F1 and Y = y.

Solving this linear equation we get G0 ðYÞ ¼ C 1 exp

að1  cÞ : 1  av

Now if we write G0 = G0(X,Y) = g0(x,y), then G0 is coprime with X. Moreover we can write E = exp(G0/Xm) with m P 1, and after simplifying by Xm, G0 satisfies

where L has degree n. Let now G0 ¼ G0 ðYÞ, the restriction of G0 to X = 0. Then G0 – 0, since otherwise G0 would be divisible by X which is not possible. Now, evaluating (19) on X = 0 we get

Evaluating (21) on x = y = 0 we get

Then in view of Proposition 3 it can have an exponential factor of the form: either E = exp(g0) or E = exp(g0/Fm) with m P 1 and such that F does not divide g 0 2 C½x; y. We first prove that system (5) has no exponential factors of the second kind. Assume that system (5) has an exponential factor of the form E = exp(g0/Fm) with m P 1 such that F does not divide g 0 2 C½x; y. We introduce the change of variables X = F and Y = y.

Therefore, in view of Proposition 3 if there exists an exponential factor it must be of the form E = exp(G0) = exp(lg0) with g 0 2 C½x; y n C, l 2 C and
