Linearization of fourth-order ordinary differential equations by point transformations. (English) Zbl 1151.34029

This paper is devoted to obtain complete criteria for fourth-order ODEs to be linearizable by a change of dependent and independent variables. For ODEs of order greater than 4 necessary conditions are obtained. Illustration of the linearization theorems are presented.
