Application of the Adomian decomposition method for the Fokker–Planck equation

In this work we will discuss the solution of an initial value problem of parabolic type. The main objective is to propose an alternative method of solution, one not based on finite difference or finite element or spectral methods. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the application of the Adomian decomposition method for solving the Fokker–Planck equation and some similar equations. This method can successfully be applied to a large class of problems. The Adomian decomposition method needs less work in comparison with the traditional methods. This method decreases considerable volume of calculations. The decomposition procedure of Adomian will be obtained easily without linearizing the problem by implementing the decomposition method rather than the standard methods for the exact solutions. In this approach the solution is found in the form of a convergent series with easily computed components. In this work we are concerned with the application of the decomposition method for the linear and nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation. To give overview of methodology, we have presented several examples in one and two dimensional cases.

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.

Piecewise finite series solution of nonlinear initial value differential problem

In this paper, we apply a piecewise finite series as a hybrid analytical-numerical technique for solving some nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations. The finite series is generated by using the Adomian decomposition method, which is an analytical method that gives the solution based on a power series and has been successfully used in a wide range of problems in applied mathematics. We study the influence of the step size and the truncation order of the piecewise finite series Adomian (PFSA) method on the accuracy of the solutions when applied to nonlinear ODEs. Numerical comparisons between the PFSA method with different time steps and truncation orders against Runge-Kutta type methods are presented. Based on the numerical results we propose a low value truncation order approach with small time step size. The numerical results show that the PFSA method is accurate and easy to implement with the proposed approach.

As the order is 1, the result here is simplified to that of first order differential equation.

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.

Numerical solution of singular boundary value problems using Green’s function and improved decomposition method

In this work, an effective technique for solving a class of singular two point boundary value problems is proposed. This technique is based on the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and Green’s function. The technique relies on constructing Green’s function before establishing the recursive scheme for the solution components. In contrast to the existing recursive schemes based on ADM, the proposed recursive scheme avoids solving a sequence of nonlinear algebraic or transcendental equations for the undetermined coefficients. The approximate solution is obtained in the form of series with easily calculable components. For the completeness, the convergence and error analysis of the proposed scheme is supplemented. Moreover, the numerical examples are included to demonstrate the accuracy, applicability, and generality of the proposed scheme. The results reveal that the method is very effective, straightforward, and simple.     

Comparing numerical methods for Helmholtz equation model problem

In this article, we implement a relatively new numerical technique, Adomian’s decomposition method for solving the linear Helmholtz partial differential equations. The method in applied mathematics can be an effective procedure to obtain for the analytic and approximate solutions. A new approach to a linear or nonlinear problems is particularly valuable as a tool for Scientists and Applied Mathematicians, because it provides immediate and visible symbolic terms of analytic solution as well as its numerical approximate solution to both linear and nonlinear problems without linearization [Solving Frontier Problems of Physics: The Decomposition Method, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston, 1994; J. Math. Anal. Appl. 35 (1988) 501]. It does also not require discretization and consequently massive computation. In this scheme the solution is performed in the form of a convergent power series with easily computable components. This paper will present a numerical comparison with the Adomian decomposition and a conventional finite-difference method. The numerical results demonstrate that the new method is quite accurate and readily implemented.

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.

We also present a reliable algorithm of Adomian decomposition method to construct a numerical solution of the Laplace’s equation in the form a rapidly convergence series and not at grid points. Numerical examples are given and comparisons are made to the sinc solution with the Adomian decomposition method. The comparison shows that the Adomian decomposition method is efficient and easy to use.

Modified variational iteration method for solving fourth-order boundary value problems

In this paper, we apply the modified variational iteration method (MVIM) for solving the fourth-order boundary value problems. The proposed modification is made by introducing He’s polynomials in the correction functional. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. The proposed iterative scheme finds the solution without any discretization, linearization or restrictive assumptions. Several examples are given to verify the reliability and efficiency of the method. The fact that the proposed technique solves nonlinear problems without using the Adomian’s polynomials can be considered as a clear advantage of this algorithm over the decomposition method.
