We present and discuss an algorithm for the numerical solution of nonlinear differential equations of fractional (i.e., non-integer) order. This algorithm allows us to analyze in an efficient way a mathematical model for the description of the behaviour of viscoplastic materials. The model contains a nonlinear differential equation of order β, where β is a material constant typically in the ran...

1. Introduction The stationary behaviour of semiconductor devices is governed by a set of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. This includes a nonlinear Poisson equation and two nonlinear continuity equations. Using Gummel's method [2] we can decouple the nonlinear elliptic system so that at each step we solve an equation of the form

In this article two algorithms, one based on variation iteration method and the other on Adomian's decomposition method, are developed to find the numerical solution of an initial value problem involving the nonlinear integro-differential equation , , , where R is a nonlinear operator that contains partial derivatives with respect to x. Special cases of the integro-differential equation are sol...

The homotopy analysis method [1, 2], is developed to search the accurate asymptotic solutions of nonlinear problems. This technique has been successfully applied to many nonlinear problems such as the viscous flows of non-Newtonian fluids [3, 4], the Korteweg-de Vries-type equations [5, 6], nonlinear heat transfer [7, 8], finance problems [9, 10], Riemann problems related to nonlinear shallow w...

The nonlinear diffusion equation arises in many important areas of science and technology such as modelling of dopant diffusion in semiconductors. We give analytical solution to N -dimensional radially symmetric nonlinear diffusion equation. The transformation group theoretic approach is applied to analysis of this equation. The one-parameter group transformation reduces the number of independe...

In this article, the modified simple equation method has been extended to celebrate the exact solutions of nonlinear partial time-space differential equations of fractional order. Firstly, the fractional complex transformation has been implemented to convert nonlinear partial fractional differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Afterwards, modified simple equation m...

A new transformation method is developed using the general sine-Gordon travelling wave reduction equation and a generalized transformation. With the aid of symbolic computation, this method can be used to seek more types of solutions of nonlinear differential equations, which include not only the known solutions derived by some known methods but new solutions. Here we choose the double sine-Gor...

The energy preserving average vector field (AVF) integrator is applied to evolutionary partial differential equations (PDEs) in bi-Hamiltonian form with nonconstant Poisson structures. Numerical results for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation and for the Ito type coupled KdV equation confirm the long term preservation of the Hamiltonians and Casimir integrals, which is essential in simulating ...

Nonlinear partial differential equations are more suitable to model many physical phenomena in science and engineering. In this paper, we consider three nonlinear partial differential equations such as Novikov equation, an equation for surface water waves and the Geng-Xue coupled equation which serves as a model for the unidirectional propagation of the shallow water waves over a flat bottom. T...

This paper proposes a new local linearization method which approximates a nonlinear stochastic differential equation by a linear stochastic differential equation. Using this method, we can estimate parameters of the nonlinear stochastic differential equation from discrete observations by the maximum likelihood technique. We conduct the numerical experiments to evaluate the finite sample perform...
