Nonexistence conjecture for analytic first integrals of even Liénard systems

Let E(x)E(x) be an even polynomial of degree at least 44, and consider the system

x˙=yE(x),y˙=x.\dot{x}=y-E(x),\qquad \dot{y}=-x.

Nonexistence conjecture. There is no global analytic first integral for this system on R2\mathbb{R}^2. The claim concerns global analytic integrability of planar Liénard systems; the source introduces it as a conjecture, and no resolution is supplied there.
