The extended homotopy perturbation method and boundary layer flow due to condensation and natural convection on a porous vertical plate

The extended homotopy perturbation method (EHPM), which is an extension to the well-known homotopy perturbation method (HPM) due to He, is applied to derive the analytical solution of the boundary layer flow of falling vapour due to the condensation on a cold, porous vertical plate. The EHPM calculates the solution automatically by adjusting the scaling factor of the independent similarity variable normal to the plate. The results obtained by the EHPM are in excellent agreement with the exact numerical solution. Also an asymptotic solution, valid for a large suction parameter is developed which matches very well with the exact solution even for moderate values of the suction velocity. Finally, it is shown that the EHPM solution is also applicable to the moderate values of blowing across the plate.     

The application of homotopy perturbation method for MHD flows of UCM fluids above porous stretching sheets

In this study, by means of homotopy perturbation method (HPM) an approximate analytical solution of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a porous stretching sheet is obtained. The main feature of the HPM is that it deforms a difficult problem into a set of problems which are easier to solve. HPM produces analytical expressions for the solution of nonlinear differential equations. The obtained analytic solution is in the form of an infinite power series. In this work, the analytical solution obtained by using only two terms from HPM solution. The results reveal that the proposed method is very effective and simple and can be applied to other nonlinear problems. Also it is shown that this method coincides with homotopy analysis method (HAM) for the studied problem.     

Solving singular nonlinear boundary value problems by combining the homotopy perturbation method and reproducing kernel Hilbert space method

This paper investigates singular nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs). The numerical solutions are developed by combining He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and reproducing kernel Hilbert space method (RKHSM). He's HPM is based on the use of traditional perturbation method and homotopy technique. The HPM can reduce a nonlinear problem to a sequence of linear problems and generate a rapid convergent series solution in most cases. RKHSM is also an analytical technique, which can solve powerfully singular linear BVPs. Therefore, we solve singular nonlinear BVPs using advantages of these two methods. Three numerical examples are presented to illustrate the strength of the method.

Solution of the differential algebraic equations via homotopy perturbation method and their engineering applications

Differential algebraic equations (DAEs) appear in many fields of physics and have a wide range of applications in various branches of science and engineering. Finding reliable methods to solve DAEs has been the subject of many investigations in recent years. In this paper, the He's homotopy perturbation method is applied for finding the solution of linear and nonlinear DAEs. First, an index reduction technique is implemented for semi-explicit and Hessenberg DAEs, then the obtained problem can be appropriately solved by the homotopy perturbation method. This technique provides a summation of an infinite series with easily computable terms, which converges to the exact solution of the problem. The scheme is tested for some high-index DAEs and the results demonstrate that the method is very straightforward and can be considered as a powerful mathematical tool.

Reliable algorithms for solving integro-differential equations with applications

This paper suggests four different methods to solve nonlinear integro-differential equations, namely, He's variational iteration method, Adomian decomposition method, He's homotopy perturbation method and differential transform method. To assess the accuracy of each method, a test example with known exact solution is used. The study outlines significant features of these methods as well as sheds some light on advantages of one method over the other. The results show that these methods are very efficient, convenient and can be adapted to fit a larger class of problems. The comparison reveals that, although the numerical results of these methods are similar, He's homotopy perturbation method is the easiest, the most efficient and convenient. Moreover, we applied modified forms of He's variational iteration method and differential transform method to solve a mathematical model, which describes the accumulated effect of toxins on populations living in a closed system.

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.

Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the homotopy perturbation method. Comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of the homotopy perturbation method. We have also considered an example where the homotopy perturbation method is not reliable.

A new approach of the homotopy analysis method (HAM), named iterated homotopy analysis method (I-HAM) is used to find approximate analytical solutions to thermo-poroelastic equations. The homotopy analysis method contains the auxiliary parameter ?, which provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of the series solution. This method is reliable and manageable. The I-HAM solutions are compared with numerical solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this kind of analytic solutions has been never reported. Also, in each example, the comparison between I-HAM and traditional HAM is done, which shows the efficiency of I-HAM.
