In this paper, we establish new exact solutions for some complex nonlinear wave equations. The B"{a}cklund transformation method of Riccati equation is used to construct exact solutions of the Hamiltonian amplitude equation and the coupled Higgs field equation. This method presents a wide applicability to handling nonlinear wave equations. These equations play a very important role in mathemati...

It is well-known that the excursions of a one-dimensional diffusion process can be studied by considering a certain Riccati equation associated with the process. We show that, in many cases of interest, the Riccati equation can be solved in terms of an infinite continued fraction. We examine the probabilistic significance of the expansion. To illustrate our results, we discuss some examples of ...

In this paper, a Laplace transform decomposition algorithm (LTDA) is proposed to solve the Riccati equation. Comparisons are made among the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the proposed method. It is shown that the homotopy perturbation method with a specific convex homotopy is equivalent to the Adomian decomposition method and the Laplace transform...

The paper deals with the associated algebraic matrix Riccati equation (AAMRE), closely related to the standard algebraic matrix Riccati equation arising in the theory of linear-quadratic optimisation and filtering. The sensitivity of the AAMRE relative to perturbations in its coefficients is studied. Both linear local (norm-wise and componentwise) and non-linear non-local perturbation bounds ar...

This paper proposes a novel lifting method which converts the standard discrete-time linear periodic system to an augmented linear time-invariant system. The linear quadratic optimal control is then based on the solution of the discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation associated with the augmented linear time-invariant model. An efficient algorithm for solving the Riccati equation is derived by...
