In this study, the density dependent nonlinear reactiondiffusion equation, which arises in the insect dispersal models, is solved using the combined application of differential quadrature method(DQM) and implicit Euler method. The polynomial based DQM is used to discretize the spatial derivatives of the problem. The resulting time-dependent nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations(OD...

Adomian decomposition method has been applied to solve many functional equations so far. In this article, we have used this method to solve the fuzzy differential equation under generalized differentiability. We interpret a fuzzy differential equation by using the strongly generalized differentiability. Also one concrete application for ordinary fuzzy differential equation with fuzzy input data...

In this paper, free convection flow and heat transfer of nanofluids of differently-shaped nano-sized particles over a vertical plate at very low and high Prandtl numbers are analyzed.  The governing systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer processes are converted to systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equation through similarity transformations. T...

A method of finding general solutions of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations by extending the Prelle-Singer (PS) method is briefly discussed. We explore integrating factors, integrals of motion and the general solution associated with several dynamical systems discussed in the current literature by employing our modifications and extensions of the PS method. In addition to th...

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of finite time singularities for the general solution of systems of ordinary differential equations are given. The systems of ordinary differential equations under consideration form a large subset of the set of all autonomous, nonlinear polynomial ordinary differential equation. The conditions for finite time blowup involve a reality condit...

We study the existence and approximation of solutions for a nonlinear second order ordinary differential equation with Dirichlet boundary value conditions. We present a generalized quasilinearization technique to obtain a sequence of approximate solutions converging quadratically to a solution.

The aim of this paper is to present the relationship between the classical linearization and the optimal derivative of a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. An application is presented using the quadratic error. AMS subject classification: 34A30, 34A34.

The connection between a Taylor series and a continued-fraction involves a nonlinear relation between the Taylor coefficients {an} and the continued-fraction coefficients {bn}. In many instances it turns out that this nonlinear relation transforms a complicated sequence {an} into a very simple one {bn}. We illustrate this simplification in the context of graph combinatorics. PACS numbers: 02.90...

For a boundary-value problem of an ordinary differential equation, we prove that the anti-maximum principle holds when the forcing term satisfies an integral inequality. As applications, we consider linear and nonlinear models arising from fishery management problems.
