Abstract
We consider a classification problem for integrable nonlinear ordinary differential equations with an independent variable belonging to a free associative algebra M. Every equation of this type admits an m×m matrix reduction for an arbitrary m. The existence of symmetries or first integrals belonging to M is used as an integrability criterion.
