Abstract

The goal of this paper is to propose Cartan equivalence problem for a system of n first-order autonomous ordinary differential equations (ODEs) under a Web transformation. In fact, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions in the form of differential invariants of this system of n first-order ODEs in the Web geometry.
