Three different spline-based approaches for solving Bratu and Bratu-type equations are presented. The classical cubic spline collocation method, an adaptive spline collocation on nonuniform partitions, and an optimal collocation method are derived for solving Bratu-type equations. Numerical examples are presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of these methods when compared to other nume...

Perturbation–iteration theory is systematically generated for both linear and nonlinear second-order differential equations and applied to Bratu-type equations. Different perturbation–iteration algorithms depending upon the number of Taylor expansion terms are proposed. Using the iteration formulas derived using different perturbation–iteration algorithms, new solutions of Bratu-type equations ...

By using the integral operational matrix and the product operation matrix of the Chebyshev wavelet, a class of nonlinear fractional integral-differential equations of Bratu-type is transformed into nonlinear algebraic equations, which makes the solution process and calculation more simple. At the same time, reliable approaches for uniqueness and convergence of the Chebyshev wavelet method are d...

In this paper, we applied Exp-function method to some nonlinear evolution equations. The solution procedure of this method, by the help of symbolic computation of Matlab, Mathematica or so on, is of utter simplicity. The obtained results show that Exp-function method is very powerful and convenient mathematical tool for nonlinear evolution equations in science and engineering. Key WordsExp-func...

This paper deals with the boundary and initial value problems for the Bratu-type model by using the modified variational iteration method. The efficiency of this modified method is to provide the analytical or approximate solutions to linear and nonlinear equations without the integral related with nonlinear term, linearization or discretization, which makes it reliable for solving the nonlinea...
