A new class of integrable systems

We present a family of dynamical systems associated with the motion of a particle in two space dimensions. These systems possess a second integral of motion quadratic in velocities (apart from the Hamiltonian) and are thus completely integrable. They were found through the derivation and subsequent resolution of the integrability condition in the form of a partial differential equation (PDE) for the potential. A most important point is that the same PDE was derived through considerations on the analytic structure of the singularities of the solutions (‘‘weak‐Painleve property’’).
