Riccati cross-ratio superposition
ID: riccati-cross-ratio-superposition
Three distinct particular solutions of a Riccati equation determine every solution by one constant cross-ratio. Indeed, for , differences satisfy . The logarithmic derivatives cancel in the displayed cross-ratio, so it is constant. Solving for gives a rational function of the three solutions and , interpreted on the Riemann sphere at poles.
