Hooray, hooray. A paper has finally appeared on two-term recurrence
formulae for indefinite algebraic integrals:

<http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.3758>

I wonder though if this might be a hoax. In his Introduction, the author
manages not to mention the additional 'numerator' polynomials (those
with coefficients A, B, C) on which his formulae crucially depend. And
the remainder of his paper looks like a giant case of abbrevitis: the
discriminant of the quartic a + b*x + c*x^2 + d*x^3 + e*x^4 in Section 3
is shortened to sa*re - 2*sb*rd + sc*rc1 for instance.

Should somebody try to supply the 136 proofs perhaps?

Holmes.
