Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to obtain semi-analytical solutions of similarity solutions for the nano boundary layer flows with Navier boundary condition. The similarity solutions of viscous flows over a two-dimensional stretching surface and an axisymmetric stretching surface are investigated.
Design/methodology/approach
In this work, the governing partial differential equations are transformed to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using some proper similarity transformations. Then an efficient semi-analytical method, the Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) is applied to obtain semi-analytical solutions of the similarity solutions in both of viscous flows over a two-dimensional stretching surface and an axisymmetric stretching surface. To improve the accuracy and enlarges the convergence domain of the obtained results by the LADM, the study has combined it with Padé approximation.
Findings
Accuracy and efficiency of the presented method are illustrated and denoted through the tables and figures. Also the effects of the suction parameter λ and slip parameter K on the fluid velocity and on the tangential stress are investigated.
Originality/value
The similarity solutions of the governing partial differential equation are obtained analytically by using an efficient developed method, namely the Laplace Adomian decomposition-Padé method. The analytic solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equation are constructed for both of viscous flows over a two-dimensional stretching surface and an axisymmetric stretching surface.

Abstract
Purpose
In this paper, an analysis is performed to find the solution of a nonlinear ordinary differential equation that appears in a model for MHD viscous flow caused by a shrinking sheet.
Design/methodology/approach
The cases of two dimensional and axisymmetric shrinking have been discussed. When the sheet is shrinking in the x‐direction, the analytical solutions are obtained by the Hankel‐Padé method. Comparison to exact solutions reveals reliability and high accuracy of the procedure, even in the case of multiple solutions. The case of sheet shrinking in the y‐direction is also considered, with success.
Findings
When the sheet shrinks in the x‐direction, the analytical solutions are obtained by Hankel‐Padé method. Also, when the sheet shrinks in the y‐direction, the obtained results with Hankel‐Padé method are presented.
Practical implications
Comparison to exact solutions reveals reliability and high accuracy of the procedure and convincingly could be used to obtain multiple solutions for certain parameter domains of this case of the governing nonlinear problem.
Originality/value
The numerical solutions are given for both two‐dimensional and axisymmetric shrinking sheets by using Hankel‐Padé method. It is clear that the Hankel‐Padé method is, by far, more simple, straightforward and gives reasonable results for large Hartman numbers and suction parameters.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel approach based on the high-order matrix derivative of the Bernstein basis and collocation method and its employment to solve an interesting and ill-posed model in the heat conduction problems, homogeneous backward heat conduction problem (BHCP).
Design/methodology/approach
By using the properties of the Bernstein polynomials the problems are reduced to an ill-conditioned linear system of equations. To overcome the unstability of the standard methods for solving the system of equations an efficient technique based on the Tikhonov regularization technique with GCV function method is used for solving the ill-condition system.
Findings
The presented numerical results through table and figures demonstrate the validity and applicability and accuracy of the technique.
Originality/value
A novel method based on the high-order matrix derivative of the Bernstein basis and collocation method is developed and well-used to obtain the numerical solutions of an interesting and ill-posed model in heat conduction problems, homogeneous BHCP with high accuracy.
