β¦ Synopsis
We propose a method for constructing first integrals of higher order ordinary differential equations. In particular third, fourth and fifth order equations of the form x (n) = h(x, x (n-1) ) αΊ are considered. The relation of the proposed method to local and nonlocal symmetries are discussed.
