A review of the decomposition method and some recent results for nonlinear equations (Q5895255): Difference between revisions

An analytical method for approximate solution of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations (initial and boundary value problems) is briefly described and broadly illustrated on a considerable number of examples. In short, the method presupposes knowledge of the Green's function of the highest derivative and starts from expanding the solution into a series \(u_ 0+\epsilon u_ 1+\epsilon^ 2u_ 2+...\), then expanding the nonlinearity into a Taylor series about \(u_ 0\) and putting then \(\epsilon =1\). A convergence proof for ordinary differential equations is announced.
