Numerical solution of Riccati equation using the cubic B-spline scaling functions and Chebyshev cardinal functions Original Research Article

Two numerical techniques are presented for solving the solution of Riccati differential equation. These methods use the cubic B-spline scaling functions and Chebyshev cardinal functions. The methods consist of expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of cubic B-spline scaling function or Chebyshev cardinal functions. Using the operational matrix of derivative, we reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Some numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new techniques. The methods are easy to implement and produce very accurate results.
