A series solution of the nonlinear Volterra and Fredholm integro-differential equations

In this paper, the HAM is applied to obtained the series solution of the high-order nonlinear Volterra and Fredholm integro-differential problems with power-law nonlinearity. Two cases are considered, in the first case the set of base functions is introduced to represent solution of given nonlinear problem and in the other case, the set of base functions is not introduced. However, in both cases, the convergence-parameter provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series.     

Static pull-in analysis of electrostatically actuated microbeams using homotopy perturbation method

In this study, static pull-in instability of electrostatically-actuated microbridges and microcantilevers is investigated considering different nonlinear effects. Galerkin’s decomposition method is utilized to convert the nonlinear differential equations of motion to nonlinear integro-algebraic equations. Afterward, analytic solutions to static deflections of the microbeams are obtained using the homotopy perturbation method. Results are in excellent agreement with those presented in the literature.     

A reliable algorithm of homotopy analysis method for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this paper, based on the homotopy analysis method (HAM), a powerful algorithm is developed for the solution of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of fractional order. The proposed algorithm presents the procedure of constructing the set of base functions and gives the high-order deformation equation in a simple form. Different from all other analytic methods, it provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series by introducing an auxiliary parameter ?$?$. The analysis is accompanied by numerical examples. The algorithm described in this paper is expected to be further employed to solve similar nonlinear problems in fractional calculus.     

Multiple positive solutions for a critical quasilinear elliptic system

The existence of cat_Ω(Ω) positive solutions for the p-Laplacian system with convex and Sobolev critical nonlinearities is obtained by some standard variational methods, whose key is to construct homotopies between Ω and levels of the functional J_λ,μ, and some analytical techniques.     

A study of the eigenvalue sensitivity by homotopy and perturbation methods

In this work, the sensitivity to material characteristics of eigenvalues is studied. From an initial structure, some defects of material or/and geometry are introduced. A method is proposed to solve the new eigenvalue problem from the initial one without using classical techniques. This method is based on the association of a homotopy transformation and the perturbation method.     

Exceptional Family of Elements and Feasibility for Nonlinear Complementarity Problems

In this paper, we introduce the new concept of -exceptional families of elements and (,)-exceptional families of elements for continuous functions, and utilize these notions for the study of the feasibility of nonlinear complementarity problems in R ⁿ and an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space H without the assumption K ^* K.     

A PL homotopy for finding all the roots of a polynomial

This paper presents a constructive method which gives, for any polynomialF(Z) of the degreen, approximate values of all the roots ofF(Z).. The point of the method is on the use of a piecewise linear function (Z, t) which approximates a homotopyH(Z, t) betweenF(Z) and a polynomialG(Z) of the degreen withn known simple roots. It is shown that the set of solutions to (Z, t) = 0 includesn distinct paths,m of which converges to a root ofF(Z) if and only if the root has the multiplicitym. Starting from givenn roots ofG(Z), a complementary pivot algorithm generates thosen paths.This work was supported by grants from Management Science Development Foundation and Takeda Science Foundation.
