A Robin-Robin non-overlapping domain decomposition method for an optimal boundary control problem associated with an elliptic boundary value problem is presented. The existence of the whole domain and subdomain optimal solutions is proven. The convergence of the subdomain optimal solutions to the whole domain optimal solution is shown. The optimality system is derived and a gradient-type method...

in this paper, we conduct a comparative study between the homotopy perturbation method (hpm) and adomian’s decomposition method (adm) for analytic treatment of nonlinear volterra integral equations, and we show that the hpm with a specific convex homotopy is equivalent to the adm for these type of equations.
