Solution of a class of singular boundary value problems

In this work a class of singular ordinary differential equations is considered. These problems arise from many engineering and physics applications such as electro-hydrodynamics and some thermal explosions. Adomian decomposition method is applied to solve these singular boundary value problems. The approximate solution is calculated in the form of series with easily computable components. The method is tested for its efficiency by considering four examples and results are compared with previous known results. Techniques that can be applied to obtain higher accuracy of the present method has also been discussed.     

A new modified Adomian decomposition method and its multistage form for solving nonlinear boundary value problems with Robin boundary conditions

In this paper we propose a new modified recursion scheme for the resolution of boundary value problems (BVPs) for second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations with Robin boundary conditions by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Our modified recursion scheme does not incorporate any undetermined coefficients. We also develop the multistage ADM for BVPs encompassing more general boundary conditions, including Neumann boundary conditions.     

A novel method for nonlinear two-point boundary value problems: Combination of ADM and RKM

In this paper, a novel method is proposed for solving nonlinear two-point boundary value problems (BVPs). This method is based on a combination of the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the reproducing kernel method (RKM). A major advantage of this method over standard ADM is that it can avoid unnecessary computation in determining the unknown parameters. The proposed method can be applied to singular and nonsingular BVPs. Numerical results obtained using the scheme presented here show that the numerical scheme is very effective and convenient for solving nonlinear two-point boundary value problems.     

A note on the use of Adomian decomposition method for high-order and system of nonlinear differential equations

This paper extends an earlier work [Hosseini MM, Nasabzadeh H. Modified Adomian decomposition method for specific second order ordinary differential equations. Appl Math Comput 2007;186:117–23] to high order and system of differential equations. Solution of these problems is considered by proposed modification of Adomian decomposition method. Furthermore, with providing some examples, the aforementioned cases are dealt with numerically.

Homotopy analysis method for singular IVPs of Emden–Fowler type

In this paper, approximate and/or exact analytical solutions of singular initial value problems (IVPs) of the Emden–Fowler type in the second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are obtained by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The HAM solutions contain an auxiliary parameter which provides a convenient way of controlling the convergence region of the series solutions. It is shown that the solutions obtained by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) are only special cases of the HAM solutions.     

An efficient method for solving nonlocal initial-boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations

In this paper, we present a new approach to solve nonlocal initial-boundary value problems of linear and nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations of first-order subject to initial and nonlocal boundary conditions of integral type. We first transform the given nonlocal initial-boundary value problems into local initial-boundary value problems. Then we apply a modified Adomian decomposition method, which permits convenient resolution of these problems. Moreover, we prove this decomposition scheme applied to such nonlocal problems is convergent in a suitable Hilbert space, and then extend our discussion to include systems of first-order linear equations and other related nonlocal initial-boundary value problems.     

A segmented and weighted Adomian decomposition algorithm for boundary value problem of nonlinear groundwater equation

Based on Adomian decomposition method, a new algorithm for solving boundary value problem (BVP) of nonlinear partial differential equations on the rectangular area is proposed. The solutions obtained by the method precisely satisfy all boundary conditions, except the small pieces near the four corners of the rectangular area. A theorem on the boundary error is given. Hence, the Adomian decomposition method is more efficiently applied to BVPs for partial differential equations. Segmented and weighted analytical solutions with a high accuracy for the BVP of nonlinear groundwater equations on a rectangular area are obtained by the present algorithm.

A new modification of the Adomian decomposition method for solving boundary value problems for higher order nonlinear differential equations

In this paper we propose a new modified recursion scheme for the resolution of multi-order and multi-point boundary value problems for nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Our new approach, including Duan’s convergence parameter, provides a significant computational advantage by allowing for the acceleration of convergence and expansion of the interval of convergence during calculations of the solution components for nonlinear boundary value problems, in particular for such cases when one of the boundary points lies outside the interval of convergence of the usual decomposition series. We utilize the boundary conditions to derive an integral equation before establishing the recursion scheme for the solution components. Thus we can derive a modified recursion scheme without any undetermined coefficients when computing successive solution components, whereas several prior recursion schemes have done so. This modification also avoids solving a sequence of nonlinear algebraic equations for the undetermined coefficients fraught with multiple roots, which is required to complete calculation of the solution by several prior modified recursion schemes using the ADM.     

Use of Adomian decomposition method in the study of parallel plate flow of a third grade fluid

In this paper, Adomian’s decomposition method is used to solve non-linear differential equations which arise in fluid dynamics. We study basic flow problems of a third grade non-Newtonian fluid between two parallel plates separated by a finite distance. The technique of Adomian decomposition is successfully applied to study the problem of a non-Newtonian plane Couette flow, fully developed plane Poiseuille flow and plane Couette–Poiseuille flow. The results obtained show the reliability and efficiency of this analytical method. Numerical solutions are also obtained by solving non-linear ordinary differential equations using Chebyshev spectral method. We present a comparative study between the analytical solutions and numerical solutions. The analytical results are found to be in good agreement with numerical solutions which reveals the effectiveness and convenience of the Adomian decomposition method.     

A new analytical technique to solve Volterra's integral equations

The purpose of the present paper is to show that the well‐known homotopy analysis method for solving ordinary and partial differential equations can be applied to solve linear and nonlinear integral equations of Volterra's type with high accuracy as well. Comparison of the present method with Adomian decomposition method (ADM), a well‐known method to solve integral equations, reveals that the ADM is only especial case of the present method. Furthermore, some illustrating examples such as linear, nonlinear and singular integral equations of Volterra's type are given to show high efficiency with reliable accuracy of the method.

Solution of twelfth-order boundary value problems by variational iteration technique

In this paper, we implement a relatively new analytical technique which is called the variational iteration method for solving the twelfth-order boundary value problems. The analytical results of the problems have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Comparisons are made to verify the reliability and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Several examples are given to check the efficiency of the suggested technique. The fact that variational iteration method solves nonlinear problems without using the Adomian’s polynomials is a clear advantage of this technique over the decomposition method.

Several examples are included to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
