The travelling wave solutions for non-linear initial-value problems using the homotopy perturbation method

In this article, we have used the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to find the travelling wave solutions for some non-linear initial-value problems in the mathematical physics. These problems consist of the Burgers–Fisher equation, the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation, the coupled Schordinger KdV equations and the long–short wave resonance equations together with initial conditions. The results of these problems reveal that the HPM is very powerful, effective, convenient and quite accurate to the systems of non-linear equations. It is predicted that this method can be found widely applicable in engineering and physics.

The homotopy analysis method to solve the modified equal width wave equation

In this article, to solve the modified equal width wave (MEW) equation, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is proposed. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possible unknown constant, which can be determined by using the boundary and initial conditions. The HAM contains the auxiliary parameter ?, which provides us to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series with a simple way. Three conservative quantities are reported. Numerical results show that this method is a promising and powerful tool to solve the MEW equation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010     

Analytical solution of time‐fractional Navier–Stokes equation in polar coordinate by homotopy perturbation method

In this letter, we implement a relatively new analytical technique, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), for solving linear partial differential equations of fractional order arising in fluid mechanics. The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo derivatives. This method can be used as an alternative to obtain analytic and approximate solutions of different types of fractional differential equations applied in engineering mathematics. The corresponding solutions of the integer order equations are found to follow as special cases of those of fractional order equations. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and reliability of HPM. He's HPM, which does not need small parameter is implemented for solving the differential equations. In this method, a homotopy is introduced to be constructed for the equation. The initial approximations can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants that can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. It is predicted that HPM can be found widely applicable in engineering. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010

Solitary wave solutions of coupled boussinesq equation

This article presents the general case‐study of our previous works regarding generalized Boussinesq equations [17, 18, 19], that focus on application of various subordinate methods where are applied to construct more general exact solutions of the coupled Boussinesq equations. In this article, the ‐expansion method is applied on coupled Boussinesq equations.
