On solutions of third and fourth-order time dependent Riccati equations and the generalized Chazy system (Q450419)

This paper introduces a new transformation of the form \[ {d X \over X} = A(x,t) d x + B(x,t) dt \] to find the general solutions of some equations belonging to the third and fourth-order time dependent Riccati class of equations. These equations are in turn related to the Chazy polynomial class studied by \textit{M. J. Ablowitz} et al. [Asian J. Math. 2, No. 4, 619--624 (1998; Zbl 0969.34005)] and the time dependent F-XVI Bureau symbol PI equations studied by \textit{C. M. Cosgrove} [Stud. Appl. Math. 116, No. 4, 321--413 (2006; Zbl 1145.34379)], respectively.
