We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Abstract
In this paper we compute first integrals of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the extended Prelle-Singer method, as formulated by Chandrasekar et al in J. Math. Phys. 47 (2), 023508, (2006). We find a new first integral for the Painlevé-Gambier XXII equation. We also derive the first integrals of generalized two-dimensional Kepler system and the Liénard type oscillators.
