Homotopy Perturbation Method With Two Expanding Parameters, Ji-Huan He Jan 2014

Homotopy Perturbation Method With Two Expanding Parameters, Ji-Huan He

Ji-Huan He

A homotopy perturbation method with two expanding parameters is suggested. The method is especially effective for a nonlinear equation with two nonlinear terms, which might have different effects on the solution. A nonlinear oscillator is used as an example to elucidate the solution procedure.


Fractional Calculus For Nanoscale Flow And Heat Transfer, Hong-Yan Liu, Ji-Huan He, Zheng-Biao Li Jan 2014

Fractional Calculus For Nanoscale Flow And Heat Transfer, Hong-Yan Liu, Ji-Huan He, Zheng-Biao Li

Ji-Huan He

Purpose – Academic and industrial researches on nanoscale flows and heat transfers are an area of increasing global interest, where fascinating phenomena are always observed, e.g. admirable water or air permeation and remarkable thermal conductivity. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the phenomena by the fractional calculus. Design/methodology/approach – This paper begins with the continuum assumption in conventional theories, and then the fractional Gauss’ divergence theorems are used to derive fractional differential equations in fractal media. Fractional derivatives are introduced heuristically by the variational iteration method, and fractal derivatives are explained geometrically. Some effective analytical approaches to fractional …


Converting Fractional Differential Equations Into Partial Differential Equations, Ji-Huan He, Zheng-Biao Li Jan 2012

Converting Fractional Differential Equations Into Partial Differential Equations, Ji-Huan He, Zheng-Biao Li

Ji-Huan He

A transform is suggested in this paper to convert fractional differential equations with the modified Riemann-Liouville derivative into partial differential equations, and it is concluded that the fractional order in fractional differential equations is equivalent to the fractal dimension.


Asymptotic Methods For Solitary Solutions And Compactons, Ji-Huan He Jan 2012

Asymptotic Methods For Solitary Solutions And Compactons, Ji-Huan He

Ji-Huan He

This review is an elementary introduction to some new asymptotic methods for the search for the solitary solutions of nonlinear differential equations, nonlinear differential-difference equations, and nonlinear fractional differential equations . Particular attention is paid throughout the paper to giving an intuitive grasp for the variational approach, the Hamiltonian approach, the variational iteration method, the homotopy perturbation method, the parameter-expansion method, the Yang-Laplace Transform, the Yang-Fourier transform, and ancient Chinese mathematics. Hamilton principle and variational principles are also emphasized. The reviewed asymptotic methods are easy to be followed for various applications. Some ideas on this review article are first appeared. …
