Abstract
We characterize the Liouvillian and analytic integrability of the quadratic polynomial vector fields in .2 having an invariant ellipse. More precisely, a quadratic system having an invariant ellipse can be written into the form x.=x2+y2.1+y(ax+by+c), y.=.x(ax+by+c), and the ellipse becomes x 2 + y 2 = 1. We prove that (i) this quadratic system is analytic integrable if and only if a = 0 (ii) if x 2+y 2 = 1 is a periodic orbit, then this quadratic system is Liouvillian integrable if and only if x 2 + y 2 = 1 is not a limit cycle; and (iii) if x2 +y 2 = 1 is not a periodic orbit, then this quadratic system is Liouvilian integrable if and only if a = 0.
