Abstract
In this paper, we consider the class of first-order algebraic ordinary differential equations (AODEs), and study their rational general solutions. A rational general solution contains an arbitrary constant. We give a decision algorithm for finding a rational general solution, in which the arbitrary constant appears rationally, of the whole class of first-order AODEs. As a byproduct, this leads to an algorithm for determining a rational general solution of a class of first-order AODE which covers almost all first-order AODEs from Kamke's collection. The method is based intrinsically on the consideration of the AODE from a geometric point of view. In particular, parametrizations of algebraic curves play an important role for a transformation of a parametrizable first-order AODE to a quasi-linear differential equation.
