Matrix Formula of Differential Resultant for First Order Generic   Ordinary Differential Polynomials
  In this paper, a matrix representation for the differential resultant of two generic ordinary differential polynomials $f_1$ and $f_2$ in the differential indeterminate $y$ with order one and arbitrary degree is given. That is, a non-singular matrix is constructed such that its determinant contains the differential resultant as a factor. Furthermore, the algebraic sparse resultant of $f_1, f_2, \delta f_1, \delta f_2$ treated as polynomials in $y, y', y"$ is shown to be a non-zero multiple of the differential resultant of $f_1, f_2$. Although very special, this seems to be the first matrix representation for a class of nonlinear generic differential polynomials.
