Juan J. Morales-Ruiz and David B. Sanz - "Local and global properties of Lie-Vessiot systems". We explore a classical Lie's result on the superposition of solutions for ordinary differential equations. This theorem characterizes locally the class of differential equations admitting superposition laws. We introduce the notion of pretransitive Lie-Vessiot system, wich form the class of equations admitting global superposition laws. We develop a differential Galois theory for these equations, and study their reduction and integration.
