Two-parameter homotopy method for nonlinear equations (Q964217)

Liao introduced an auxiliary parameter in the homotopy function referred as the zero-order deformation equation to enhance the convergence. In this paper, a second parameter is introduced into the zero-order deformation equation. The use of two auxiliary parameters allows further generalization of the Newton homotopy analysis method. With greater freedom in selecting the auxiliary operator, the resulting schemes caters to a wide range of nonlinear equations including those that are not amenable to conventional Newton type iteration schemes.
