- Using the Normal Form (NF) of the system near the SP; In the last case, according to [Section 5.3] of [9] the coefficients of the resonance terms of the NF at a resonance of order 3, i.e., when there exists a pair of eigenvalues with ratio 2:1, should be zero in integrable cases. They are zero in some subcases, and in other subcases, they are nonzero. If resonance of order 3 is absent, then we need to consider the resonance with the minimum possible order.

- If in the case that the EP equations (1) do not have any resonances, one has to consider the eigenvalues at the stationary point of a family . If all of them do not belong to the straight line that crosses the origin of the complex plane, then in the real case, the normalization transformation is analytic, and the system (1) is locally integrable. See [12] for Hamiltonian systems and [9] for the EP equations because they can be written as a Hamiltonian system [6] with the same set of eigenvalues.
4. Algorithm of Searching for Integrable Cases
- Step 1
- Fix the number ℓ of non-zero parameters and find all families of stationary points.
- Step 2
- Compute the discriminants (19) on the families .
- Step 3
- In the family , calculate all secondary discriminants of the numerators G of the first discriminants , where defined in (20), and their factors. All irreducible factors we divide into two groups:
- Ist group
- are factors not depending on s:
- IInd group
- are factors depending on s:For each pair with , , , we compute its resultant over the parameter s and factorize it into irreducible factors . So, we obtain a set of factors (22) and factors which are not dependent on s.
For their roots, all stationary points of family are potentially locally integrable. - Step 4
- For fixed value ℓ and for each set
- Step 5
- Check the obtained parameter values for potential integrability by computing the normal forms of the EP system near stationary points or by finding the fourth independent integral. Usually, it is sufficient to compute coefficients of the resonant monomials of the normal form in the case of the resonance of order 3, i.e., when there exists at least one pair of nonzero eigenvalues with ration .

- If it is not possible to do so, then, after preliminary simplification of the obtained expressions, the parameter variation interval is set, the set of points on this interval is determined, other parameters of the system are calculated, and then the numerical normalization procedure is performed. Such calculations are carried out using high-precision arithmetic with 30 decimal digits. At each step, intermediate checks of the significance of the results obtained are performed.
