Kumbhakar–Roy–Srinivasan classification conjecture for first-order differential equations

Let (k,δ)(k,\delta) be a differential field of characteristic zero with field of constants CC. Consider a first-order differential equation over kk, and, respectively, an autonomous differential equation over CC. A differential field extension of kk is required to have CC as its field of constants. Kumbhakar–Roy–Srinivasan classification conjecture. A first-order differential equation over kk (respectively, an autonomous differential equation over CC) is not of general type if and only if it has at most three (respectively, at most one) algebraically independent solutions in any given differential field extension of kk having CC as its field of constants. The conjecture concerns an existential classification of differential equations under the restriction to extensions introducing no new constants. The source paper states that this conjecture is proved there, so its resolution is established in the paper.
