On the Integrability of a Four-Prototype Rössler System

Abstract

We consider a four-prototype Rossler system introduced by Otto Rössler among others as prototypes of the simplest autonomous differential equations (in the sense of minimal dimension, minimal number of parameters, minimal number of nonlinear terms) having chaotic behavior. We contribute towards the understanding of its chaotic behavior by studying its integrability from different points of view. We show that it is neither Darboux integrable, nor C1-integrable.
