Abstract

In this paper, we classify irreducible Darboux polynomials and rational first integrals of the nonstretching Rolie–Poly model by a new method based on the classical characteristic curves method. The classical method has been successfully applied to many systems, but it is not suitable for the nonstretching Rolie–Poly model. We take it as an auxiliary tool to give a preliminary understanding of the structure of the Darboux polynomials, and obtain partial integrability results of the system.

Introduction and statement of the main results

In this work, we consider the nonstretching Rolie–Poly model [1] C11̇=2κC1232κC12((1+β)C11β)ε(C111),C12̇=κC2232(1+β)κC122εC12,C22̇=32κC12((1+β)C22β)ε(C221)which describes entangled linear polymer melts, where C=C11C120C12C22000C22denotes a conformation tensor and the dot denotes the ordinary time derivative. Parameters κ, β and ε denote the shear rate, the convective constraint release coefficient and the ratio of the Rouse time τR and the reptation time τd, respectively. With the

Proof of Theorem 1

Let f(x,y,z)=i=0nfi(x,y,z) be a Darboux polynomial of system (2), where each fi is a homogeneous polynomial of degree i for i=0,1,,n. The cofactor k(x,y,z) is of the form k=k1x+k2y+k3z+k0.

By substituting f and k into Eq. (3) we have (abxy+cx+43ay)i=0nfix+(aby2+cy+az+a)i=0nfiy+(abyz+cz23ay)i=0nfiz=(k1x+k2y+k3z+k0)i=0nfn.

Identifying the homogeneous items of degree n+1, we get abxyfnx+aby2fny+abyzfnz=(k1x+k2y+k3z)fn.

Here we use the method of characteristic curves to solve it.

Conclusion

In this paper we have proved that the nonstretching Rolie–Poly system has no polynomial first integral when ab0. And there always exists an invariant algebraic surface x+2z=0 which gives this system the prefix “nonstretching”. We also find out many Darboux polynomials and show the cases when this system is completely integrable. But it should be noted that we cannot exclude the existence of irreducible Darboux polynomials of degree more than two. Computation for these Darboux polynomials is
