In this paper, we apply a new analytical technique for nonlinear problems, namely the Homotopy Analysis Method (Liao 1992a), to give two-period formulas for oscillations of conservative single-degree-of-freedom systems with odd nonlinearity. These two formulas are uniformly valid for any possible amplitudes of oscillation. Four examples are given to illustrate the validity of the two formulas. This paper also demonstrates the general validity and the great potential of the Homotopy Analysis Method.

An analytical technique, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is applied using a computerized symbolic computation to find the approximate and exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics. The HAM is a strong and easy to use analytic tool for nonlinear problems and does not need small parameters in the equations. The validity and reliability of the method is tested by application on three nonlinear problems, namely theWhitham-Broer-Kaup equations, coupled Korteweg-de Vries equation and coupled Burger’s equations. Comparisons are made between the results of the HAM with the exact solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations in physics.

In this paper, Homotopy analysis method is applied to the nonlinear coupleddifferential equations of classical Boussinesq system. We have applied Homotopy analysis method (HAM) for the application problems in [1, 2, 3, 4]. We have also plotted Domb-Sykes plot for the region of convergence. We have applied Pade for the HAM series to identify the singularity and reflect it in the graph. The HAM is a analytical technique which is used to solve non-linear problems to generate a convergent series. HAM gives complete freedom to choose the initial approximation of the solution, it is the auxiliary parameter h which gives us a convenient way to guarantee the convergence of homotopy series solution. It seems that moreartificial degrees of freedom implies larger possibility to gain better approximations by HAM.

A powerful analytic technique for nonlinear problems, the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is employed to give analytic solutions of power-law fluids of second grade. For the so-called secondorder power-law fluids, the explicit analytic solutions are given by recursive formulas with constant coefficients. Also, for the real power-law index in a quite large range an analytic approach is proposed. It is demonstrated that the approximate solution agrees well with the finite difference solution. This provides further evidence that the homotopy analysis method is a powerful tool for finding excellent approximations to nonlinear equations of the power-law fluids of second grade.

In this paper a definitely new analytical technique, predictor homotopy analysis method (PHAM), is employed to solve the problem of two-dimensional nanofluid flow through expanding or contracting gaps with permeable walls. Moreover, comparison of the PHAM results with numerical results obtained by the shooting method coupled with a Runge–Kutta integration method as well as previously published study results demonstrates high accuracy for this technique. The fluid in the channel is water containing different nanoparticles: silver, copper, copper oxide, titanium oxide, and aluminum oxide. The effects of the nanoparticle volume fraction, Reynolds number, wall expansion ratio, and different types of nanoparticles on the flow are discussed.

The forced Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equations are solved using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). HAM is an approximate analytical technique which provides a novel way to obtain series solutions of such nonlinear problems. It has the auxiliary parameterℏ, where it is easy to adjust and control the convergence region of the series solution. Some examples of forcing terms are employed to analyse the behaviours of the HAM solutions for the different fKdV equations. Finally, this form of HAM solution is compared with the analytical soliton-type solution of fKdV equation as derived by Zhao and Guo. The results is found to be in good agreement with Zhao and Guo.
