On the homotopy analysis method for nonlinear problems

TL;DR: A powerful, easy-to-use analytic tool for nonlinear problems in general, namely the homotopy analysis method, is further improved and systematically described through a typical nonlinear problem, i.e. the algebraically decaying viscous boundary layer flow due to a moving sheet.
