In 1988, Parker and Sochacki announced a theorem which proved that the Picard iteration, properly modified, generates the Taylor series solution to any ordinary differential equation (ODE) onℜnwith a polynomial generator. In this paper, we present an analogous theorem for partial differential equations (PDEs) with polynomial generators and analytic initial conditions. Since the domain of a solution of a PDE is a subset ofℜn, we identify one component of the domain to achieve the analogy with ODEs. The generator for the PDE must be a polynomial and autonomous with respect to this component, and no partial derivative with respect to this component can appear in the domain of the generator. The initial conditions must be given in the designated component at zero and must be analytic in the nondesignated components. The power series solution of such a PDE, whose existence is guaranteed by the Cauchy theorem, can be generated to arbitrary degree by Picard iteration. As in the ODE case these conditions can be met, for a broad class of PDEs, through polynomial projections.

Similarity method is employed to solve multiterm time-fractional diffusion equation. The orders of the fractional derivatives belong to the interval(0,1]and are defined in the Caputo sense. We illustrate how the problem is reduced from a multiterm two-variable fractional partial differential equation to a multiterm ordinary fractional differential equation. Power series solution is obtained for the resulting ordinary problem and the convergence of the series solution is discussed. Based on the obtained results, we propose a definition for a multiterm error function with generalized coefficients.

A generalized dimensional analysis performed by using Buckingham's Pi-theorem for the generalized Burgers' equation is presented. The application of the Buckingham Pi-theorem is used to reduce the governing partial differential equation with the boundary and initial conditions to an ordinary differential equation with appropriate corresponding conditions. By using a scaling invariant we simplify the similarity solutions, which are discussed for a specific choice of boundary conditions, and yield analytical solutions, which are in closed form. Also, using extended one-step methods of order five we solve the final ordinary differential equations. This criterion for solvability involves converting the boundary value problem to an initial value problem. PACS Nos.: 02.60.Lj, 47.27.Jv


A constructive approach is given, closely based on the work of Ford (1936) for continuing analytically a power series solution of a linear ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients outside the circle of convergence.

A perturbing nonlinear Schrodinger equation is studied under general complex nonhomogeneities and complex initial conditions for zero boundary conditions. The perturbation method together with the eigenfunction expansion and variational parameters methods are used to introduce an approximate solution for the perturbative nonlinear case for which a power series solution is proved to exist. Using Mathematica, the symbolic solution algorithm is tested through computing the possible approximations under truncation procedures. The method of solution is illustrated through case studies and figures.

In this work, we solved the initial value problem of Benjamin−Bona−Mahony equation with generalized initial conditions by using differential transform method (DTM). We obtained the general solution in the form of a series. An example is presented for the particular initial conditions.
