Approximate Approach To The Das Model Of Fractional Logistic Population Growth, S. Das, P. K. Gupta, K. Vishal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, the analytical method, Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been successfully implemented for solving nonlinear logistic model of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Using initial value, the explicit solutions of population size for different particular cases have been derived. Numerical results show that the method is extremely efficient to solve this complicated biological model.


Homotopy Perturbation Method And The Stagnation Point Flow, P. Donald Ariel Aug 2010

Homotopy Perturbation Method And The Stagnation Point Flow, P. Donald Ariel

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The laminar steady flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid near a stagnation point has been computed using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Both the cases, (i) two-dimensional flow and (ii) axisymmetric flow, have been considered. A sequence of successive approximations has been obtained in the solution, and the convergence of the sequence is achieved by using the Padé approximants. It is found that there is a complete agreement between the results obtained by the HPM and the exact numerical solution.
