More on C-fraction solutions to Riccati equations (Q1178580): Difference between revisions

\textit{E. P. Merkes} and \textit{W. T. Scott} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 4, 309--327 (1962; Zbl 0133.33702)] presented an algorithm for solving a Riccati equation. The authors here extend this algorithm to solve Riccati equations without a singularity at zero, such as \[ R[w(z)]=A(z)+B(z)W(z)+C(z)W^2(z)-W'(z)=0. \] This article also demonstrates through many examples the advantages and the disadvantages of the \(C\)-fraction solutions.
