The homotopy perturbation method is extremely accessible to non-mathematicians and engineers. The method decomposes a complex problem under study into a series of simple problems that are easy to be solved. This note gives an elementary introduction to the basic solution procedure of the homotopy perturbation method. Particular attention is paid to constructing a suitable homotopy equation. Thi...

 Abstract: In this paper homotopy perturbation is applied to system of linear Fredholm integral equations of the first kind .For these systems, degenerate kernels are considered and in order to avoid successive integrations ,an easy matrix computation is derived for approximating the solution of the problem.  

In this paper, we consider the application of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to compute the eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville problem (SLP) which is called non-definite SLP. Two important Examples show that HPM is reliable method for computing the eigenvalues of SLP.

In this paper, we suggest and analyze some iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations using the homotopy perturbation technique coupled with system of equations. In addition, we show that the homotopy polynomial is exactly the the Adomian polynomial and this establishes the equivalence between the homotopy perturbation and decomposition techniques. Our method of establishing the equivale...

In this paper, linear and non-linear stiff systems of ordinary differential equations are solved by the multi-stage homotopy perturbation method (MHPM). The MHPM is a technique adapted from the standard homotopy perturbation method (HPM) where standard HPM is converted into a hybrid numeric-analytic method called multistage homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The MHPM is tested for several exam...

Nonlinear partial differential equations are useful in describing the various phenomena in disciplines. The Homotopy perturbation method, first proposed by He in 1998, was developed and improved by He [5, 6, 7, 8]. Homotopy perturbation method [4] is a novel and effective method, and can solve various nonlinear equations. This method has been successfully applied to solve many types of nonlinea...

In this paper, homotopy perturbation method is applied to solve moving boundary and isoperimetric problems. This method does not depend upon a small parameter in the equation, homotopy is constructed with an imbedding parameter p, which is considered as a “small parameter”. Finally, we use combined homotopy perturbation method and Green’s function method for solving second order problems. Some ...

In this paper, a Laplace transform decomposition algorithm (LTDA) is proposed to solve the Riccati equation. Comparisons are made among the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the proposed method. It is shown that the homotopy perturbation method with a specific convex homotopy is equivalent to the Adomian decomposition method and the Laplace transform...

In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method and a modified homotopy perturbation method are used for analytical treatment of the wave equation and some nonlinear diffusion equations, respectively. Some examples are given to illustrate that a suitable choice of an initial solution can lead to the exact solution, this revealing the reliability and effectiveness of the method. © 2009 Elsevier ...

In this article, the homotopy perturbation method is proposed to solve systems of Volterra integral equations of the first kind. Theoretical proposes are presented briefly, so that this paper can be read independently. To illustrate the method some examples are presented. The results reveal that the homotopy perturbation method is very effective and simple and gives the exact solutions.
