Abstract

A general decomposition theorem that allows one to express uniquely arbitrary differential polynomials in one independent and one dependent variable as a combination of conservative, dissipative and higher order dissipative pieces is proved. The decomposition generalises the Rayleigh dissipation law for linear equations.
