In this paper, we consider the application of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to compute the eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville problem (SLP) which is called non-definite SLP. Two important Examples show that HPM is reliable method for computing the eigenvalues of SLP.

In this article, the homotopy perturbation method is proposed to solve systems of Volterra integral equations of the first kind. Theoretical proposes are presented briefly, so that this paper can be read independently. To illustrate the method some examples are presented. The results reveal that the homotopy perturbation method is very effective and simple and gives the exact solutions.

An attempt is made for the first time to solve the quadratic and cubic model of magneto hydrodynamic Poiseuille flow of Phan-Thein-Tanner (PTT). A series solution of magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) flow is developed by using homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The results are presented graphically and the effects of non-dimensional parameters on the flow field are analyzed. The results reveal many i...

Paper the Jeffery-Hamel flow-a nonlinear equation of 3rd order-is studied by homotopy perturbation method. After introducing homotopy perturbation method and the way of obtaining Adomian’s polynomial, we solved the problem for divergent and convergent channel. Finally, velocity distribution and shear stress constant is depicted at various Reynolds numbers and comparing our results with some ear...

In this paper, we tried to accelerate the rate of convergence in solving second-order Fredholm type Integro-differential equations using a new method which is based on Improved homotopy perturbation method (IHPM) and applying accelerating parameters. This method is very simple and the result is obtained very fast.  

In this paper, the Sawada-Kotera equation is solved by using the Adomian’s decomposition method, modified Adomian’s decomposition method, variational iteration method, modified variational iteration method, homotopy perturbation method, modified homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method. The approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of series which its comp...

In this paper, we apply He’s semi-inverse method to establish a variational theory for the Boussinesq system. Based on this formulation, a solitary solution can be easily obtained using Ritz method. Moreover, the results are also compared with He’s homotopy perturbation method, Liao’s homotopy analysis method and homotopy padémethod. The results reveal that the proposed method is very effective...

This paper is aimed to demonstrate the modified form of Homotopy Analysis Method for solving both linear and nonlinear integro differential equations. The modified form of Homotopy Analysis method is found to be fast, reliable and accurate and contains an auxiliary parameter that provides a powerful tool to analyses strongly linear and nonlinear (without linearization) problems directly. Numeri...
