There are a number of equations known as the Riccati differential equation. The most common is
(1)
|
(Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 445; Zwillinger 1997, p. 126), which has solutions
(2)
|
where and are spherical Bessel functions of the first and second kinds.
Another Riccati differential equation is
(3)
|
which is solvable by algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions only when , for , 1, 2, ....
Yet another Riccati differential equation is
(4)
|
where (Boyce and DiPrima 1986, p. 87). The transformation
(5)
|
leads to the second-order linear homogeneous equation
(6)
|
If a particular solution to (4) is known, then a more general solution containing a single arbitrary constant can be obtained from
(7)
|
where is a solution to the first-order linear equation
(8)
|
(Boyce and DiPrima 1986, p. 87). This result is due to Euler in 1760.
