Normal forms for ordinary differential operators, II

Abstract

In this paper, which is a follow-up of our first paper "Normal forms for ordinary differential operators, I", we extend the theory of normal forms for non-commuting operators, and obtain as an application a commutativity criterion for operators in the Weyl algebra or, more generally, in the ring of ordinary differential operators, which we prove in the case when operators have a normal form with the restriction top line (for details see Introduction).
