Bratu-like equation arising in electrospinning process: a Green's function fixed-point iteration approach (Q2224212)

Summary: The aim of this article is to solve a Bratu-like nonlinear differential equation arising in electrospinning and vibration-electrospinning process that was recently introduced by \textit{H. Y. Liu} and \textit{P. Wang} [``A short remark on Bratu-like equation arising in electrospinningand vibration-electrospinning process'', Carbohydrate Polymers, ARBPOL-D-13-02650 (2014)]. Electro-spinning process has been associated to Bratu equation through thermo-electro-hydrodynamics balance equations. The proposed strategy is based on embedding Green's function into Picard's fixed-point iteration scheme. Validation of the novel algorithm is demonstrated through numerical examples which comprise certain selected values of the parameters that appear in the modelled equation.
