Abstract

The singularly perturbed Riccati equation is the first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation ℏ∂xf=af2+bf+c in the complex domain where ℏ is a small complex parameter. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for exact solutions with prescribed asymptotics as ℏ→0 in a half-plane. These exact solutions are constructed using the Borel–Laplace method; that is, they are Borel summations of the formal divergent ℏ -power series solutions. As an application, we prove existence and uniqueness of exact WKB solutions for the complex one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a rational potential.
