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...

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, 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...

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...

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, 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, 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.

In this paper, we tried to accelerate the rate of convergence in solving second-order Fredholm type Integro-differential equations using a new method which is based on Improved homotopy perturbation method (IHPM) and applying accelerating parameters. This method is very simple and the result is obtained very fast.  

In this paper, the Sawada-Kotera equation is solved by using the Adomian’s decomposition method, modified Adomian’s decomposition method, variational iteration method, modified variational iteration method, homotopy perturbation method, modified homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method. The approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of series which its comp...
