Most of the piecewise oscillators in engineering fields include nonlinear damping or stiffness and the contained damping or stiffness is strongly nonlinear, but to the authors’ knowledge little attention has been paid to those systems. Thus, in the present paper, a sinusoidal excited piecewise linear–nonlinear oscillator is analyzed. The mathematical model of the oscillator is described by a combination of a linear and a nonlinear differential equation which contains strong nonlinear terms of stiffness. An approximate solution for the oscillator is proposed by using the homotopy analysis method and matching method. The validity of the proposed solution is verified by comparing it with the exact solution. It is found that the approximate solution is in good agreement with the exact solution. The influence of some system parameters on the dynamical behavior of the oscillator is also investigated by the bifurcation diagrams of these parameters. From these bifurcation diagrams, one can observe the motion of the oscillator directly.

We aim to study the convergence of the homotopy analysis method (HAM in short) for solving special nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integrodifferential equations. The sufficient condition for the convergence of the method is briefly addressed. Some illustrative examples are also presented to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. Comparison of the obtained results HAM with exact solution shows that the method is reliable and capable of providing analytic treatment for solving such equations.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to obtain the solution of linear and nonlinear fractional differential equations by applying an analytic technique, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The fractional derivatives are described by Caputo’s sense. By this method, the solution considered as the sum of an infinite series, which converges rapidly to exact solution with the help of the nonzero convergence control parameter ℏ. Some examples are given to show the efficiently and accurate of this method. The solutions obtained by this method has been compared with exact solution. Also our graphical represented of the solutions have been given by using MATLAB software.

The paper presents an application of the homotopy analysis method for solving the one-phase fractional inverse Stefan design problem. The problem was to determine the temperature distribution in the domain and functions describing the temperature and the heat flux on one of the considered area boundaries. It was demonstrated that if the series constructed for the method is convergent then its sum is a solution of the considered equation. The sufficient condition of this convergence was also presented as well as the error of the approximate solution estimation. The paper also includes the example presenting the application of the described method. The obtained results show the usefulness of the proposed method. The method is stable for the input data disturbances and converges quickly. The big advantage of this method is the fact that it does not require discretization of the area and the solution is a continuous function.

In the current work, the telegraph equation in its general form and with an integral condition is investigated. Also the well-known homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied and an interesting iterative algorithm is proposed for solving the problem in general form. Some numerical examples are given and compared with the exact solution to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

AbstractIn this paper, a differential equation describing the optimum path of a flying object is derived. The density of the fluid is assumed to be exponentially decaying with altitude. The equation is cast in to a dimensionless form and the exact solution is given. This equation is then analyzed by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results showed in the figures reveal that this method is very effective and convenient.

No doubt, the exact solution of any physical system is considered optimal when it is available. Such exact solution is of great importance not only in validating the accuracy of the approximate solution obtained for the same problem but also to derive the correct physical interpretation of the involved physical phenomena. In this paper, the system of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations describing the peristaltic flow of a nanofluid in a channel with compliant walls has been solved exactly. These exact solutions have been implemented to explore the exact effects of Prandtl number Pr, thermophoresis parameter NT, Brownian motion parameter NB, and Eckert number Ec on the temperature, the nanoparticle concentration profiles, and the heat transfer coefficient Z(x). In addition, the exact results have been compared with a very recent work via the homotopy analysis method for the same problem. Although these comparisons showed that the published approximate results coincide with the current exact analysis, a few remarkable differences have been detected for the behaviour of the heat transfer coefficient.
