Approximate solution for quadratic Riccati differential equation

Abstract

The quadratic Riccati differential equations are a class of nonlinear differential equations of much importance, and play a significant role in many fields of applied science. This paper introduces an efficient method for solving the quadratic Riccati differential equation and the Riccati differential-difference equation. In this technique, the Bezier curves method is considered as an algorithm to find the approximate solution of the nonlinear Riccati equation. Some examples in different cases are given to demonstrate simplicity and efficiency of the proposed method.
