in this paper, a nonlinear volterra-fredholm integral equation of the first kind is solved by using the homotopy analysis method (ham). in this case, the first kind integral equation can be reduced to the second kind integral equation which can be solved by ham. the approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of a series which its components are computed easily. the accuracy...

Analytical solutions are attractive for parametric studies and consideration of the problems physics. In addition, analytical solutions can be employed as a reference framewo...

in this work, the blasius equation is studied. homotopy perturbation method (hpm) and homotopy analysis method (ham) are applied to obtain its solution. comparison with variational iteration method (vim) is made to highlight the significant features of employed methods and their capability of handling nonlinear problems. the outcome shows the success of (hpm) and (ham) for solving nonlinear pro...

in recent years, numerous approaches have been applied for finding the solutions of functional equations. one of them is the optimal homotopy asymptotic method. in current paper, this method has been applied for obtaining the approximate solution of fisher equation. the reliability of the method will be shown by solving some examples of various kinds and comparing the obtained outcomes with the ...

This paper presents the solution of the nonlinear equation that governs the flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid between two converging-diverging rigid walls using an improved homotopy analysis method. The results obtained by this new technique show that the improved homotopy analysis method converges much faster than both the homotopy analysis method and the optimal homotopy asymptotic meth...
