Abstract:	Consider real or complex polynomial Riccati differential equations a(x) y=b_0(x) b_1(x)y b_2(x)y^2 with all the involved functions being polynomials of degree at most . We prove that the maximum number of polynomial solutions is 1 (resp. 2) when 1 (resp. =0) and that these bounds are sharp. For real trigonometric polynomial Riccati differential equations with all the functions being trigonometric polynomials of degree at most 1 we prove a similar result. In this case, the maximum number of trigonometric polynomial solutions is 2 (resp. 3) when 2 (resp. =1) and, again, these bounds are sharp. Although the proof of both results has the same starting point, the classical result that asserts that the cross ratio of four different solutions of a Riccati differential equation is constant, the trigonometric case is much more involved. The main reason is that the ring of trigonometric polynomials is not a unique factorization domain.
