Homotopy Analysis Method Based on Optimal Value of the Convergence Control Parameter for Solving Semi-Differential Equations

Hadi Hosseini Fadravi, Hassan Saberi Nik, Reza Buzhabadi

Abstract


In this paper, homotopy analysis method is directly extended
to investigate nth order semi-differential equations and to derive
their numerical solutions which is introduced by replacing some
integer-order space derivatives by fractional derivatives. The fractional
derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. So the homotopy analysis
method for differential equations of integer-order is directly extended to
derive explicit and numerical solutions of the fractional differential equations.
An optimal value of the convergence control parameter is given
through the square residual error. Comparison is made between Homotopy
perturbation method, collocation spline method, and the present
method.

Keywords


Homotopy analysis method (HAM); Caputo fractional derivative; semi-differential equations
