Abstract

An effective and convenient mathematical tool for nonlinear differential equations is the homotopy perturbation method, a combination of the classical perturbation method and the homotopy technique. This method, proposed by J.H. He in 1998 [30, 40, 115, 138, 139], does not require a small parameter in the equation in contrast to the traditional perturbation methods.
