In this paper we prove the following theorem: if the Riccati equation \(w^{\prime}+w^{2}=R(x), R \in\) \(Q(x)\), has algebraic solutions, then there exists a minimum polynomial defining such a solution whose coefficients lie at most in a cubic extension of the field \(Q\).

β¦ Synopsis
Algorithms exist to find Liouvillian solutions of second order homogeneous linear differential equations (Kovacic, 1986, Singer andUlmer, 1993b). In this paper, we show how, by carefully combining the techniques of those algorithms, one can find the Liouvillian solutions of an irreducible second order linear differential equation by computing only rational solutions of some associated linear differential equations. The result is an easyto-implement simplified version of the Kovacic algorithm, based as much as possible on the computation of rational solutions of linear differential equations.
