Abstract

We apply the method of Jacobi Last Multiplier to the fifty second-order ordinary differential equations of Painlevé type as given in Ince in order to obtain a Lagrangian and consequently solve the inverse problem of Calculus of Variations for those equations. The easiness and straightforwardness of Jacobi’s method is underlined.
