Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.Here, after criticizi...

in this paper the bagley-torvik equation as a prototype fractional differential equation with two derivatives is investigated by means of homotopy perturbation method. the results reveal that the present method is very effective and accurate.

The present paper deals with the homotopy perturbation method. The question of whether the homotopy perturbation method is simply the conventional Taylor series expansion is examined. It is proven that under particular choices of the auxiliary parameters the homotopy perturbation method is indeed the Taylor series expansion of the sought solution of nonlinear equations.

this paper has been devoted to apply the reconstruction of variational iteration method (rvim) to handle the systems of integro-differential equations. rvim has been induced with laplace transform from the variational iteration method (vim) which was developed from the inokuti method. actually, rvim overcome to shortcoming of vim method to determine the lagrange multiplier. so that, rvim method...

AbstractAn analytic technique, combination of two methods Homotopy Perturbation Method and Variational Iteration Method are applied for solve second kind of linear Volteera equations. homotopy perturbation method and variational iteration method are employed to solve Volteera integral equations. The result reveals that the homotopy perturbation method and variational iteration method are very e...

this paper a novel homotopy perturbation method has been presented for forced convection boundary layer problems in a porous medium. Noting the infinite condition, a homotopy form which is similar to the singular perturbation form has been considered. The inner and outer solutions have been achieved and the coincidence of the results has been investigated with a proper matching method. The resu...

in this paper, we apply the  homotopy analysis method (ham) for solving fuzzy  linear systems and present  the necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of series solution obtained via the ham. also, we present a new criterion for choosing a proper value of convergence-control parameter $hbar$ when the ham is applied to linear system of equations. comparisons are made between the ...

In this paper, we present an efficient numerical algorithm, namely block homotopy perturbation method, for solving fuzzy linear systems based on homotopy perturbation method. Some numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of the algorithm. Keywords—Homotopy perturbation method, Fuzzy linear systems, Block linear system, Fuzzy solution, Embedding parameter.

In this paper, we apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the sixth-order boundary value problems by reformulating them as an equivalent system of integral equations. This equivalent formulation is obtained by using a suitable transformation. The analytical results of the integral equations have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several ex...

In this paper, an efficient modification of homotopy perturbation method, namely optimal homotopy perturbation method, is introduced for solving linear and nonlinear partial differential equations with large solution domain based on a new homotopy perturbation method and Padé approximation method. We compare the performance of the method with those of new homotopy perturbation and optimal varia...
