Depending on the case, the system might be able to solve the problem using one of the transformations above; the above transformations can also be used as departure point for guessing another transformation suitable for the given problem. It is also possible to introduce a change of variables leading to a linear ODE of the second order (see below).
Concerning Riccati ODEs of Special type, the solving scheme can be summarized as follows. The first thing worth noting is that, for
the system succeeds in solving the ODE:

Now, for
, Riccati Special ODEs can be reduced, step by step, to the case
, provided that
can be written as

The idea is to change variables so as to obtain another ODE of type Riccati Special, but with c[n->0], until reaching
. There are two variable transformations leading to the desired reduction, depending on the sign of

above (see examples at the end).

The general transformation for n > 0 (in

In each step, you must introduce the corresponding value of

The change of variables plus a few simplifications leads to the desired new_ode of type Riccati Special with the order of

The exponent of

is reached. Then, as shown above, a solution is already known.
The same idea applies when n < 0 (in c[n]). For this case, the change of variables is given by

Finally, it is also possible to convert Riccati ODEs in second order linear homogeneous ODEs, by using convert,ODEs), as follows:

In the above, the first operand is the second order linear ODE and the second operand is the transformation of variables used.
