This work explores the tensor and combinatorial constructs underlying the linearised higher-order variational equations $\mathrm{LVE}_{\psi}^k$ of a generic autonomous system along a particular solution $\psi$. The main result of this paper is a compact yet explicit and computationally amenable form for said variational systems and their monodromy matrices. Alternatively, the same methods are useful to retrieve, and sometimes simplify, systems satisfied by the coefficients of the Taylor expansion of a formal first integral for a given dynamical system. This is done in preparation for further results within Ziglin-Morales-Ramis theory, specifically those of a constructive nature.
Keywords: Zariski topology, functions of several complex variables., algebraic Geometry, differential Galois group, variational equations, monodromy matrix, meromorphic functions, Hamiltonian integrability, multilinear algebra, dynamical integrability, first integrals.
