We study several properties of a homotopy solution mapping, based on Zhang and Zhang's homotopy formulation, for continuous nonlinear complementarity problems with such non-monotone maps as quasi-monotone, E 0-, and exceptional regular functions. For these classes of complementarity problems, we establish several suucient conditions to assure the nonemptyness and boundedness of the homotopy sol...

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...

In this paper, a theorem is proved which presents the series solution obtained from the homotopy analysis method is convergent to the exact solution of nonlinear age-structured population models.

The travelling-wave solution of the Volterra lattice has been constructed by the optimal homotopy analysis method. The optimal method used here contains three auxiliary convergence-control parameters to adjust and control the convergence region of the solution. By minimizing the averaged residual error, the optimal convergence-control parameters can be obtained, which give much better approxima...

The aim of this work is to apply the homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method to the problem of thermal explosion in a flammable gas mixture with the addition of volatile fuel droplets. The system of equations that describes the effects of heating, evaporation, and combustion of fuel in a polydisperse spray is simplified. Both convective and radiative heating of droplets is tak...

Abstract: In this paper, we study the approximation of analytical solution for Fractional Reaction Diffusion model which describes the evaluation of bacterium Bacillus, which grows on the surface of thin agar plates, by using homotopy analysis transform method. The fractional derivatives are described by caputo sense. A comparative study between the homotopy analysis transform method and the cl...

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method has been applied to solve (2 + 1)-dimensional Schrödinger equations. The validity of this method has successfully been accomplished by applying it to find the solution of some of its variety forms. The results obtained by homotopy analysis method have been compared with those of exact solutions. The main objective is to propose alternative methods of ...

In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of non-reactive contaminant flow problem for constant initial concentration in two dimensions by homotopy-perturbation and Variational Iteration method. We provide an approximation of this equation using homotopy-perturbation transformation and solve the resulting linear equations analytically by homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) and Variational...

The homotopy analysis method is used to obtain analytical solutions of the Rayleigh equation for the radial oscillations of a multielectron bubble in liquid helium. The small order approximations for amplitude and frequency fit well with those computed numerically. The results confirm that the homotopy analysis method is a powerful and manageable tool for finding analytical solutions of strongl...

the purpose of this letter is to revisit the nonlinear reaction-diusion modelin porous catalysts when reaction term is fractional function of the concen-tration distribution of the reactant. this model, which originates also in uidand solute transport in soft tissues and microvessels, has been recently givenanalytical solution in terms of taylors series for dierent family of reactionterms. we...
