We show that classical Wilczynski–Se-ashi invariants of linear systems of
ordinary differential equations are generalized in a natural way to contact
invariants of non-linear ODEs. We explore geometric structures associated with
equations that have vanishing generalized Wilczynski invariants and establish
relationship of such equations with deformation theory of rational curves on
complex algebraic surfaces.
