We study a class of rational matrix differential equations that generalize the Riccati differential equations. The generalization involves replacing positive definite “weighting” matrices in the usual Riccati equations with either semidefinite or indefinite matrices that arise in linear quadratic control problems and differential games−both stochastic and deterministic. The purpose of this pape...

By adding a suitable real function on both sides of the quadratic Riccati differential equation, we propose a weighted type of Adams-Bashforth rules for solving it, in which moments are used instead of the constant coefficients of Adams-Bashforth rules. Numerical results reveal that the proposed method is efficient and can be applied for other nonlinear problems.

Kudryashov in [ Phys. Lett. A 342 (2005) 99-106] used simplest nonlinear differential equations like the Riccati equation, the equation for the Jacobi elliptic function to present a new approach for searching exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. As application, he obtained a kind of exact solutions to the Fisher equation. In this letter, more explicit exact solitary wave...

Ten new exact solutions of the Riccati equation dy/dx = a(x) + b(x)y + c(x)y are presented. The solutions are obtained by assuming certain relations among the coefficients a(x), b(x) and c(x) of the Riccati equation, in the form of some integral or differential expressions, also involving some arbitrary functions. By appropriately choosing the form of the coefficients of the Riccati equation, w...

Abstract: In this paper, we derive the analytical closed form solution of a class of Riccati equations. Since it is well known that to every Riccati equation there corresponds a linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation (ODE), the result obtained is subsequently employed to derive the analytical solution of the class of second order linear homogeneous ODEs corresponding to the class of ...

In this paper a control problem for a controlled linear stochastic equation in a Hilbert space and an exponential quadratic cost functional of the state and the control is formulated and solved. The stochastic equation can model a variety of stochastic partial differential equations with the control restricted to the boundary or to discrete points in the domain. The solution method does not req...

This paper studies the properties of solutions of the Riccati equation arising from the quadratic optimal control problem of the general damped second order system. Using the semigroup theory, we establish the weak differential characterization of the Riccati equation for a general class of the second order distributed systems with arbitrary damping terms.

In this paper we study the half-linear differential equation ( r(t)Φp(x ′) ) ′ + c(t)Φp(x) = 0, where Φp(x) = |x|p−2x, p > 1. Using modified Riccati technique and suitable local estimates for terms in modified Riccati equation we derive new characterization of principal solution and new nonoscillation criteria.
