We aim to study the convergence of the homotopy analysis method (HAM in short) for solving special nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integrodifferential equations. The sufficient condition for the convergence of the method is briefly addressed. Some illustrative examples are also presented to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. Comparison of the obtained results HAM with exac...

The homotopy analysis method HAM is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations fPDEs . The fractional derivatives are described by Caputo’s sense. Series solutions of the fPDEs are obtained. A convergence theorem for the series solution is also given. The test examples, which include a variable coefficient, inhomogeneous and hyperbolic-type equations, demons...

The homotopy analysis method HAM is employed to obtain symbolic approximate solutions for nonlinear coupled equations with parameters derivative. These nonlinear coupled equations with parameters derivative contain many important mathematical physics equations and reaction diffusion equations. By choosing different values of the parameters in general formal numerical solutions, as a result, a v...

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) proposed by Liao in 1992 and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) proposed by He in 1998 are compared through an evolution equation used as the second example in a recent paper by Ganji et al (2007). It is found that the HPM is a special case of the HAM when ~ = −1. However, the HPM solution is divergent for all x and t except t = 0. It is als...

In this paper, exact solutions of two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with kerr, saturable and quintic type of nonlinearities are studied by means of the Homotopy analysis method (HAM). Linear stability properties of these solutions are investigated by the linearized eigenvalue problem. We also investigate nonlinear stability properties of the exact solutions obtained by HAM by direc...

Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied to find the critical buckling load of the Euler columns with continuous elastic restraints. HAM has been successfully applied to many linear and nonlinear, ordinary and partial, differential equations, integral equations, and difference equations. In this study, we presented the application of HAM to the critical buckling loads for Euler columns with fi...

In the present paper using homotopy analysis method (HAM), we approximate a special case of fuzzy integral equations. The fuzzy integral and integro-differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. In this paper HAM can be to find the exact solution or an approximate solution of the problem. Within this paper the HAM is used to obtain A series solution of int...

Some recently developed analytical methods namely; homotopy analysis method, homotopy perturbation method and modified homotopy perturbation method are applied successfully for solving strongly nonlinear oscillators. The analytical results obtained by using HAM are compared with those of HPM, mHPM as well as with numerical results. In this study, different examples with strong nonlinearity are ...
