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...

The paper presents the optimal homotopy perturbation method, which is a new method to find approximate analytical solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations. Based on the well-known homotopy perturbation method, the optimal homotopy perturbation method presents an accelerated convergence compared to the regular homotopy perturbation method. The applications presented emphasize the h...

in this paper, we consider the variational homotopy perturbation method (vhpm) to obtain an approximate series solution for the generalized fisher’s equation which converges to the exact solution in the region of convergence. comparisons are made among the variational iteration method (vim), the exact solutions and the proposed method. the results reveal that the proposed method is very effectiv...

By means of He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-Newtonian uid obeying the Sisko model. The nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to He. Furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched...

The solution methods of nonlinear differential equations are very important because most of the physical phenomena are modelled by using such kind of equations. Therefore, this work presents a rational version of homotopy perturbation method RHPM as a novel tool with high potential to find approximate solutions for nonlinear differential equations. We present two case studies; for the first exa...

Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.Here, after criticizi...

in this paper the bagley-torvik equation as a prototype fractional differential equation with two derivatives is investigated by means of homotopy perturbation method. the results reveal that the present method is very effective and accurate.

The present paper deals with the homotopy perturbation method. The question of whether the homotopy perturbation method is simply the conventional Taylor series expansion is examined. It is proven that under particular choices of the auxiliary parameters the homotopy perturbation method is indeed the Taylor series expansion of the sought solution of nonlinear equations.

this paper has been devoted to apply the reconstruction of variational iteration method (rvim) to handle the systems of integro-differential equations. rvim has been induced with laplace transform from the variational iteration method (vim) which was developed from the inokuti method. actually, rvim overcome to shortcoming of vim method to determine the lagrange multiplier. so that, rvim method...
