A theorem of Biermann and Weierstrass

  • P. L. Robinson

摘要

A theorem of Biermann and Weierstrass addresses the differential equation \((w')^2 = f(w)\) ( w ) 2 = f ( w ) in which f is a quartic polynomial whose zeros are simple, expressing its solutions in terms of the Weierstrass \(\wp \) -function whose invariants are those of the quartic. We offer an elementary proof of this theorem, based on ideas of Goursat.
