Some notes on convergence of homotopy based methods for functional equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method and homotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functional equations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of these methods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, but the researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty. Here, after criticizing previous works, a sufficient condition for convergence of homotopy methods is presented. Finally, examples are given to show that even if the homotopy method leads to a convergent series, it may not converge to the exact solution of the equation under consideration.

متن کاملSome notes concerning the convergence control parameter in homotopy analysis method
omotopy analysis method (HAM) is a promising method for handling func-tional equations. Recent publications proved the eectiveness of HAM in solvingwide variety of problems in dierent elds. HAM has a unique property whichmakes it superior to other analytic methods, this property is its ability to con-trol the convergence region of the solution series. In this work, we claried theadvantages and ...
متن کاملOn the convergence of the homotopy analysis method to solve the system of partial differential equations
One of the efficient and powerful schemes to solve linear and nonlinear equations is homotopy analysis method (HAM). In this work, we obtain the approximate solution of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) by means of HAM. For this purpose, we develop the concept of HAM for a system of PDEs as a matrix form. Then, we prove the convergence theorem and apply the proposed method to fi...
متن کاملSolving a System of Linear Equations by Homotopy Analysis Method
In this paper, an efficient algorithm for solving a system of linear equations based on the homotopy analysis method is presented. The proposed method is compared with the classical Jacobi iterative method, and the convergence analysis is discussed. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
