To use the modified decomposition method to obtain numerical solutions of fourth‐order boundary value problems.

The modified form of Adomian decomposition method (ADM) originated by Wazwaz in 1997/1998 is considered and applied. In addition, a comparison of the modified decomposition method and the perturbed collocation method when applied to the solutions of fourth‐order boundary value problems is presented.

The comparison of these two methods has shown that the modified or standard decomposition methods are reliable, efficient and easy to use for solving higher‐order boundary value problems.

This study provides both an analysis of the method as well as a comparison of the numerical solutions of fourth‐order boundary value problems. Future research in the application of this methodology to other areas should prove productive.

The numerical results, using the modified technique, were obtained from selected fourth‐order boundary value problems which were linear and non‐linear problems.

Assesses, by comparison, methods for the numerical solutions of fourth‐order boundary value problems. Shows through original numerical results the value of the modified or standard decomposition methods in the solution of these problems.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new modification of the Adomian decomposition method for resolution of higher‐order inhomogeneous nonlinear initial value problems.

First the authors review the standard Adomian decomposition scheme and the Adomian polynomials for solving nonlinear differential equations. Next, the advantages of Duan's new algorithms and subroutines for fast generation of the Adomian polynomials to high orders are discussed. Then algorithms are considered for the solution of a sequence of first‐, second‐, third‐ and fourth‐order inhomogeneous nonlinear initial value problems with constant system coefficients by the new modified recursion scheme in order to derive a systematic algorithm for the general case of higher‐order inhomogeneous nonlinear initial value problems.

The authors investigate seven expository examples of inhomogeneous nonlinear initial value problems: the exact solution was known in advance, in order to demonstrate the rapid convergence of the new approach, including first‐ through sixth‐order derivatives and quadratic, cubic, quartic and exponential nonlinear terms in the solution and a sextic nonlinearity in the first‐order derivative. The key difference between the various modified recursion schemes is the choice of the initial solution component, using different choices to partition and delay the subsequent parts through the recursion steps. The authors' new approach extends this concept.

The new modified decomposition method provides a significant advantage for computing the solution's Taylor expansion series, both systematically and rapidly, as demonstrated in the various expository examples.

This paper aims to revisite the traditional Adomian decomposition method frequently used for the solution of highly nonlinear extended surface problems in order to understand the heat transfer enhancement phenomenon. It is modified to include a parameter adjusting and controlling the convergence of the resulting Adomian series.

It is shown that without such a convergence control parameter, some of the published data in the literature concerning the problem are lacking accuracy or the worst is untrustful. With the proposed amendment over the classical Adomian decomposition method, it is easy to gain the range of parameters guaranteeing the convergence of the Adomian series.

With the presented improvement, the reliable behavior of the fin tip temperature and the fin efficiency of the most interested from practical perspective are easily predicted.

The relevant future studies involving the fin problems covering many physical nonlinear properties must be properly treated as guided in this paper, while the Adomian decomposition method is adopted for the solution procedure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the magneto-hydrodynamics boundary layer Falkner–Skan flow over a flat plate numerically by using the Runge–Kutta method featuring shooting technique and analytically via a new modified analytical technique called improved generalized Adomian decomposition method (improved-GDM).

It is well established that the generalized decomposition method (GDM) (Yong-Chang et al., 2008), which uses a new kind of decomposition strategy for the nonlinear function, has proved its efficiency and superiority when compared to the standard ADM method. In this investigation, based on the idea of improved-ADM method developed by Lina and Song (Song and Wang, 2013), the authors proposed a new analytical algorithm of computation named improved-GDM. Thereafter, the proposed algorithm is tested by solving the nonlinear problem of the hydro-magnetic boundary layer flow over a flat plate.

The proposed improved generalized decomposition method (I-GDM) introduces a convergence-control parameter “ω’’ into the GDM, which accelerates the convergence of solution and reduces considerably the computation time. In fact, the key of this method is mainly based on the best selection of the convergence-control parameter ω.

The paper presents a new efficient algorithm of computation that can be considered as an alternative for solving the nonlinear initial boundary layer value problems. Obtained results show clearly the accuracy of the proposed method.

Aims to solve singular two‐point boundary value problems, linear and non‐linear by using modified and standard decomposition methods, respectively.

The approximate solution of this problem is calculated in the form of series with easily computable components.

The accuracy of the presented numerical method was examined in comparison with others and was found to be superior.

The decomposition method provided a reliable technique that required less work when compared with the traditional techniques. The method does not require unjustified assumptions linearisation discretizations or perturbation.

The Adomian decomposition method was found to be very easy to apply to both differential equations, higher‐order boundary value problems and linear or non‐differential systems.

The technique is both innovative and efficient and an original approach for solving singular two‐point boundary value problems.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the highly accurate numerical solution of Lane–Emden-type equations using modified Adomian decomposition method (MADM) for unequal step-size partitions.

First, the authors describe the standard Adomian decomposition scheme and the Adomian polynomials for solving nonlinear differential equations. After that, for the fast calculation of the Adomian polynomials, an algorithm is presented based on Duan’s corollary and Rach’s rule. Then, MADM is discussed for the unequal step-size partitions of the domain, to obtain the numerical solution of Lane–Emden-type equations. Moreover, convergence analysis and an error bound for the approximate solution are discussed.

The proposed method removes the singular behaviour of the problems and provides the high precision numerical solution in the large effective region of convergence in comparison to the other existing methods, as shown in the tested examples.

Unlike the other methods, the proposed method does not require linearization or perturbation to obtain an analytical and numerical solution of singular differential equations, and the obtained results are more physically realistic.

Based on the original methods of Adomian a decomposition method has been developed to find the analytic approximation of the linear and nonlinear Volterra‐Fredholm (V‐F) integro‐differential equations under the initial or boundary conditions.

Designed around the methods of Adomian and later researchers. The methodology to obtain numerical solutions of the V‐F integro‐differential equations is one whose essential features is its rapid convergence and high degree of accuracy which it approximates. This is achieved in only a few terms of its iterative scheme which is devised to avoid linearization, perturbation and any transformation in order to find solutions to given problems.

The scheme was shown to have many advantages over the traditional methods. In particular it provided discretization and provided an efficient numerical solution with high accuracy, minimal calculations as well as an avoidance of physical unrealistic assumptions.

A reliable method for obtaining approximate solutions of linear and nonlinear V‐F integro‐differential using the decomposition method which avoids the tedious work needed by traditional techniques has been developed. Exact solutions were easily obtained.

The new method had most of its symbolic and numerical computations performed using the Computer Algebra Systems‐Mathematica. Numerical results from selected examples were presented.

A new effective and accurate methodology has been developed and demonstrated.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new modified version of the homotopy perturbation method (NMHPM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving the nonlinear ordinary differential equation arising in MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linear stretching sheet.

The governing equation is solved analytically by applying a newly developed optimal homotopy perturbation approach and ADM. This optimal approach contains convergence-control parameter and is computationally rather efficient. The results of numerical example are presented and only a few terms are required to obtain accurate solutions.

A new modified optimal and ADM methods accelerate the rapid convergence of the series solution. These methods dramatically reduce the size of work. The obtained series solution is combined with the diagonal Padé approximants to handle the boundary condition at infinity. Results derived from these methods are shown graphically and in tabulated forms to study the efficiency and accuracy.

Non-Newtonian flow processes play a key role in many types of polymer engineering operations. The formulation of mathematical model for these processes can be based on the equations of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. The flow of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is of importance in various areas of technology and engineering such as MHD power generation, MHD flow meters, MHD pumps, etc. It is generally admitted that a number of astronomical bodies (e.g. the sun, Earth, Jupiter, Magnetic stars, Pulsars) posses fluid interiors and (or least surface) magnetic fields.

The present results are original and new for the MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linear stretching sheet. The results attained in this paper confirm the idea that NMHPM and ADM are powerful mathematical tools and that can be applied to a large class of linear and nonlinear problems arising in different fields of science and engineering.

This paper aims to suggest a novel modified Laplace decomposition method (MLDM) for MHD flow over a non-linear stretching sheet with slip condition by suitable choice of an initial solution.

The governing partial differential equations are converted into dimensionless non-linear ordinary differential equation by similarity transformation, which is solved by MLDM. The method is based on the application of Laplace transform to boundary layers in fluid mechanics. The non-linear term can be easily handled by the use of He's polynomials.

The series solution of the MHD flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet subject to slip condition is obtained. An excellent agreement between the MLDM and HPM is achieved. Convergence of the obtained series solution is properly checked by using the ratio test.

Stretching surface is an important type of flow occurring in a number of engineering processes such as heat-treated materials travelling between a feed roll and a wind up roll, aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets, glass fiber and paper production, cooling of an infinite metallic plate in a cooling path, manufacturing of polymeric sheets are few examples of flow due to stretching surfaces. This work provides a very useful source of information for researchers on this subject.

Such flow analysis is even not available yet for the hydrodynamic fluid. The series solution for MHD boundary layer problem with slip condition by means of MLDM is yet not available in the literature.
