Abstract

We consider the integrability property of coupled polynomial nonlinear oscillators from the point of view of symmetries, with two degrees of freedom as a prototype example. It is shown how invariance of the equations of motion under generalised Lie transformations can lead to the identification of integrable cases. The perturbed Kepler problem is treated explicitly. Results on other two-dimensional systems are presented briefly.
