Riccati differential equations with elliptic coefficients (Q1578456)

In this paper, the authors consider the Riccati differential equation \[ w'+w^2+a\wp(z)=0, \] where \(\wp(z)\) is the Weierstrass \(\wp\)-function satisfying \[ (\wp')^2 = 4\wp^3 - b, b \neq 0 \] and \[ a = (1 - m^2)/4, m \geq 2, m \neq 6n. \] They show under these conditions that all solutions to the Riccati differential equation are meromorphic and provide a full investigation of their periodicity and double periodicity.
