In this paper, a very efficient and easy-to-use successive linearization approach for solving nonlinear differential equations is proposed. The implementation of the method is demonstrated by solving three nonlinear differential equations of different complexities arising in heat transfer. New closed form explicit analytic solutions of some of the governing nonlinear equations are obtained and compared with the results of the proposed method and with numerical solutions from the MATLAB in-built routine bvp4c.

In this paper, we obtained the Haar wavelet-based numerical solution of the nonlinear differential equations arising in fluid dynamics, i.e., electrohydrodynamic flow, elastohydrodynamic lubrication and nonlinear boundary value problems. Error analysis is observed, it shows that the Haar wavelet-based results give better accuracy than the existing methods, which is justified through illustrative examples.


The homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing on the problem. It has been attempted to show the capabilities and wide-range applications of the homotopy perturbation method in comparison with the previous ones in solving heat transfer problems. The obtained solutions, in comparison with the exact solutions admit a remarkable accuracy. A clear conclusion can be drawn from the numerical results that the HPM provides highly accurate numerical solutions for nonlinear differential equations.

Asymptotic solutions of a class of nonlinear boundary-value problems are studied. The problem is a model arising in nuclear energy distribution. For large values of the parameter, the differential equations are of the singular-perturbation type and approximations are constructed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions.

AbstractIn this paper, the sinc-Galerkin method is used for numerically solving a class of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions. The importance of this study is that sinc approximation of the nonlinear term is stated as a new theorem. The method introduced here is tested on some nonlinear problems and is shown to be a very efficient and powerful tool for obtaining approximate solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
