A novel optimized decomposition method for Smoluchowski's aggregation equation

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Smoluchowski's aggregation equation has applications in the field of bio-pharmaceuticals cite{zidar2018characterisation}, financial sector cite{PUSHKIN2004571}, aerosol science cite{shen2020efficient} and many others. Several analytical, numerical and semi-analytical approaches have been devised to calculate the solutions of this equation. Semi-analytical methods are commonly employed since they do not require discretization of the space variable. The article deals with the introduction of a novel semi-analytical technique called the optimized decomposition method (ODM) (see cite{odibat2020optimized}) to compute solutions of this relevant integro-partial differential equation. The series solution computed using ODM is shown to converge to the exact solution. The theoretical results are validated using numerical examples for scientifically relevant aggregation kernels for which the exact solutions are available. Additionally, the ODM approximated results are compared with the solutions obtained using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) in cite{singh2015adomian}. The novel method is shown to be superior to ADM for the examples considered and thus establishes as an improved and efficient method for solving the Smoluchowski's equation.
