## Series solutions of non-linear Riccati differential equations with fractional order.(English)Zbl 1197.34006

Summary: Based on the homotopy analysis method (HAM), a new analytic technique is proposed to solve non-linear Riccati differential equation with fractional order. Different from all other analytic methods, it provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series by introducing an auxiliary parameter $$\hbar/2 \pi$$. Besides, it is proved that well-known Adomian’s decomposition method is a special case of the homotopy analysis method when $$\hbar/2 \pi - 1$$. This work illustrates the validity and great potential of the homotopy analysis method for the non-linear differential equations with fractional order. The basic ideas of this approach can be widely employed to solve other strongly non-linear problems in fractional calculus.
Editorial remark: There are doubts about a proper peer-reviewing procedure of this journal. The editor-in-chief has retired, but, according to a statement of the publisher, articles accepted under his guidance are published without additional control.
