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...

an attempt is made for the first time to solve the quadratic and cubic model of magneto hydrodynamic poiseuille flow of phan-thein-tanner (ptt). series solution of magneto hydrodynamic (mhd) flow is developed by using homotopy perturbation method (hpm). results are presented graphically and the effects of non-dimensional parameters on the flow field are analyzed. the results obtained reveals ma...

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 ecient numerical algorithm for solving fuzzy systemsof linear equations based on homotopy perturbation method. the method is discussed indetail and illustrated by solving some numerical examples.

We explain the essence of perturbation problems. The key to understanding is the structure of chain homotopy equivalence – the standard one must be replaced by a finer notion which we call a strong chain homotopy equivalence. We formulate an Ideal Perturbation Lemma and show how both new and classical (including the Basic Perturbation Lemma) results follow from this ideal statement.

in this paper, we consider the variational homotopy perturbation method (vhpm) to obtain an approximate series solution for the generalized fisher’s equation which converges to the exact solution in the region of convergence. comparisons are made among the variational iteration method (vim), the exact solutions and the proposed method. the results reveal that the proposed method is very effectiv...

In this paper, we have applied the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for obtaining the analytical solution of unsteady flow of gas through a porous medium and we have also compared the findings of this research with some other analytical results. Results showed a very good agreement between results of HPM and the numerical solutions of the problem rather than other analytical solutions which h...

In this paper, a coupling method of a homotopy technique and a perturbation technique is proposed to solve non-linear problems. In contrast to the traditional perturbation methods, the proposed method does not require a small parameter in the equation. In this method, according to the homotopy technique, a homotopy with an imbedding parameter p3[0, 1] is constructed, and the imbedding parameter...

In this paper, we introduce a method to solve linear stiff IVPs. The suggested method, which we call modified homotopy perturbation method, can be considered as an extension of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) which is very efficient in solving a varety of differential and algebraic equations. In this work, a class of linear stiff initial value problems (IVPs) are solved by the classical ...

We apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the fourth-order boundary value problems. The analytical results of the boundary value problems have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the homotopy perturbation method. Comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of ...
