Abstract

The aspire of this article is to bring in a new approximate method, that is to say the Laplace Padé decomposition method which is a mixture of Laplace decomposition and Padé approximation to offer an analytical approximate way out to magnetohydrodynamics flow over a nonlinear porous stretching sheet. This new iteration approach provides us with a convenient way to approximate solution. A closed agreement between the obtained solution and some well-known results has been established. The proposed procedure can be applied to handle other nonlinear problems.
