Homotopy Perturbation Method for Solving Fourth-Order Boundary Value Problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method was applied for solving the fourth-order boundary value problems and the analytical results were obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components.
Abstract: We apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the fourth-order boundary value problems. The analytical results of the boundary value problems have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the homotopy perturbation method. Comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of the method. Homotopy method can be considered an alternative method to Adomian decomposition method and its variant forms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply He's polynomials to investigate propagating traveling solitary wave solutions of seventh order generalized KdV (SOG-KdV) equations.
Abstract: In this paper, we apply He's polynomials to investigate propagating traveling solitary wave solutions of seventh order generalized KdV (SOG-KdV) equations which play a very important role in mathematical physics and engineering as well. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. The suggested iterative scheme leads to the needed solution without any discretization, linearization or restrictive assumptions. The fact that proposed scheme solves nonlinear problems without using the Adomian's polynomials can be considered as a clear advantage of this algorithm over the decomposition method.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of some relatively new techniques which are originated by He for solving diversified nonlinear problems of physical nature is presented, focusing on the variational iteration method (VIM) and its modifications, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the parameter expansion method and exp-function method.
Abstract: This paper outlines a detailed study of some relatively new techniques which are originated by He for solving diversified nonlinear problems of physical nature. In particular, we will focus on the variational iteration method (VIM) and its modifications, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the parameter expansion method, and exp-function method. These relatively new but very reliable techniques proved useful for solving a wide class of nonlinear problems and are capable to cope with the versatility of the physical problems. Several examples are given to reconfirm the efficiency of these algorithms. Some open problems are also suggested for future research work.

TL;DR: This paper applies the homotopy perturbation method for solving the sixth-order boundary value problems by reformulating them as an equivalent system of integral equations by using a suitable transformation.
Abstract: In this paper, we apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the sixth-order boundary value problems by reformulating them as an equivalent system of integral equations. This equivalent formulation is obtained by using a suitable transformation. The analytical results of the integral equations have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the homotopy perturbation method. Comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of the homotopy perturbation method. We have also considered an example where the homotopy perturbation method is not reliable.

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational iteration method for non-linear problems is proposed, where the problems are initially approximated with possible unknowns and a correction functional is constructed by a general Lagrange multiplier, which can be identified optimally via the variational theory.
Abstract: In this paper, a new kind of analytical technique for a non-linear problem called the variational iteration method is described and used to give approximate solutions for some well-known non-linear problems. In this method, the problems are initially approximated with possible unknowns. Then a correction functional is constructed by a general Lagrange multiplier, which can be identified optimally via the variational theory. Being different from the other non-linear analytical methods, such as perturbation methods, this method does not depend on small parameters, such that it can find wide application in non-linear problems without linearization or small perturbations. Comparison with Adomian’s decomposition method reveals that the approximate solutions obtained by the proposed method converge to its exact solution faster than those of Adomian’s method.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of recent developments in asymptotic techniques, which are valid not only for weakly nonlinear equations, but also for strongly ones, is presented.
Abstract: This paper features a survey of some recent developments in asymptotic techniques, which are valid not only for weakly nonlinear equations, but also for strongly ones. Further, the obtained approximate analytical solutions are valid for the whole solution domain. The limitations of traditional perturbation methods are illustrated, various modied perturbation techniques are proposed, and some mathematical tools such as variational theory, homotopy technology, and iteration technique are introduced to overcome the shortcomings. In this paper the following categories of asymptotic methods are emphasized: (1) variational approaches, (2) parameter-expanding methods, (3) parameterized perturbation method, (4) homotopy perturbation method (5) iteration perturbation method, and ancient Chinese methods. The emphasis of this article is put mainly on the developments in this eld in China so the references, therefore, are not exhaustive.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple non-linear equation is used to describe a kind of analytical technique for nonlinear problems, which is based on both homotopy in topology and the Maclaurin series.
Abstract: One simple, typical non-linear equation is used in this paper to describe a kind of analytical technique for non-linear problems. This technique is based on both homotopy in topology and the Maclaurin series. In contrast to perturbation techniques, the proposed method does not require small or large parameters. The example shows that the proposed method can give much better approximations than those given by perturbation techniques. In addition the proposed method can be used to obtain formulae uniformly valid for both small and large parameters in non-linear problems.
