Abstract: Obtaining an analytical representation of the solutions of nonlinear differential equations has been a challenge for many years. This difficulty is particularly pronounced when these equations model a physical phenomenon, which makes the exact solution even more difficult to find. In this paper, we present a global semi-analytical approach for deriving global rational approximants to Riccati equations and logistic growth models, which are commonly employed in the modeling of complex systems. We also show that our approach can be efficiently used to solve a system of nonlinear equations that represent a dynamical system without closed solution, namely the drug consumption model. This current global semi-analytical method consists firstly in generating the solutions of these nonlinear differential equations in terms of series expansions for small and large values. Then, two-point Padé approximants are applied to provide global approximate representation solutions that agree with the exact solution over the whole period of time. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our study, some examples given in the literature have been solved using our approach. Numerical comparisons between the present approach and other methods are also included.
