analysis method, an analytic approach to get convergent series solutions of strongly …

Mathematical properties of ℏ-curve in the frame work of the homotopy analysis method

S Abbasbandy, E Shivanian, K Vajravelu - Communications in Nonlinear …, 2011 - Elsevier
As it is described in the frame work of the homotopy analysis method (HAM), the
convergence-control parameter is the main auxiliary tool which distinguishes this method …

Series solutions of nano boundary layer flows by means of the homotopy analysis method

J Cheng, S Liao, RN Mohapatra, K Vajravelu - Journal of Mathematical …, 2008 - Elsevier
We present here a 'similar'solution for the nano boundary layer with nonlinear Navier
boundary condition. Three types of flows are considered:(i) the flow past a wedge;(ii) the …

A study on the convergence of homotopy analysis method

ZM Odibat - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2010 - Elsevier
In this study, a reliable approach for convergence of the homotopy analysis method when
applied to nonlinear problems is discussed. First, we present an alternative framework of the …

Prediction of multiplicity of solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems: novel application of homotopy analysis method

S Abbasbandy, E Shivanian - Communications in Nonlinear Science and …, 2010 - Elsevier
The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a method, probably for the first time, to
predict the multiplicity of the solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems. This procedure …

On the relationship between the homotopy analysis method and Euler transform

S Liao - Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical …, 2010 - Elsevier
A new transform, namely the homotopy transform, is defined for the first time. Then, it is
proved that the famous Euler transform is only a special case of the so-called homotopy …

A coupled-mode system with application to nonlinear water waves propagating in finite water depth and in variable bathymetry regions

KA Belibassakis, GA Athanassoulis - Coastal Engineering, 2011 - Elsevier
A non-linear coupled-mode system of horizontal equations is presented, modelling the
evolution of nonlinear water waves in finite depth over a general bottom topography. The …

An efficient analytic approach for solving two‐point nonlinear boundary value problems by homotopy analysis method

HN Hassan, MA El‐Tawil - Mathematical methods in the applied …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we use homotopy analysis method (HAM) to solve two‐point nonlinear
boundary value problems that have at least one solution. The new approach provides the …

A new analytical technique to solve Fredholm's integral equations

S Abbasbandy, E Shivanian - Numerical algorithms, 2011 - Springer
This paper shows that the homotopy analysis method, the well-known method to solve ODEs
and PDEs, can be applied as well as to solve linear and nonlinear integral equations with …
