Let zi= exp(Qi) and let vj= log(Rj), where Qi= and Rj= are polynomial functions with coefficients in the differential ring R for all and all , e.g. for all i and j. The system of ordinary differential equations
={ Pl= =0, }is in general a system of nonlinear and nonalgebraic differential equations.
Since exp(a) (respectively log(a)) with a in a differential ring Rare uniquely defined by the differential equations { y(1)-a(1)y=0 } (respectively { ay(1)-a(1)=0 }) up to a constant, then the system is equivalent to the system

Let N=max{ntl,qit,rjt: , , , }. By using results from section 3, the system is equivalent to the system

={ p(1)-z-1=0, q(1)+qz-1=0, z-exp(p)=0, z(1)-p(1)z=0}.By eliminating z the system is equivalent to tha system
