In recent years, some promising approximate analytical solutions are proposed, such as exp-function method [1], homotopy perturbation method [2 – 11], and variational iteration method (VIM) [12 – 17]. The variational iteration method is the most effective and convenient one for both weakly and strongly nonlinear equations. This method has been shown to effectively, easily, and accurately solve ...

The homotopy analysis method [1, 2], is developed to search the accurate asymptotic solutions of nonlinear problems. This technique has been successfully applied to many nonlinear problems such as the viscous flows of non-Newtonian fluids [3, 4], the Korteweg-de Vries-type equations [5, 6], nonlinear heat transfer [7, 8], finance problems [9, 10], Riemann problems related to nonlinear shallow w...

We formulate and prove a non-local “maximum principle for semicontinuous functions” in the setting of fully nonlinear and degenerate elliptic integro-partial differential equations with integro operators of second order. Similar results have been used implicitly by several researchers to obtain comparison/uniqueness results for integro-partial differential equations, but proofs have so far been...

We consider nonlinear integro-differential equations like the ones that arise from stochastic control problems with purely jump Lévy processes. We obtain a nonlocal version of the ABP estimate, Harnack inequality, and interior C 1; ̨ regularity for general fully nonlinear integro-differential equations. Our estimates remain uniform as the degree of the equation approaches 2, so they can be seen ...

He’s variational iteration method [1, 2], which is a modified general Lagrange multiplier method [3], has been shown to solve effectively, easily and accurately a large class of nonlinear problems with approximations which converge quickly to accurate solutions. It was successfully applied to autonomous ordinary differential equations [4], nonlinear partial differential equations with variable ...

In this paper, a new approach for solving the second order fuzzy differential equations (FDE) with fuzzy initial value, under strongly generalized H-differentiability is presented. Solving first order fuzzy differential equations by extending 1-cut solution of the original problem and solving fuzzy integro-differential equations has been investigated by some authors (see for example cite{darabi...
