A new approach for solving nonlinear Thomas-Fermi equation based on fractional order of rational Bessel functions
In this paper, the fractional order of rational Bessel functions collocation
method (FRBC) to solve Thomas-Fermi equation which is defined in the
semi-infinite domain and has singularity at and its boundary condition
occurs at infinity, have been introduced. We solve the problem on semi-infinite
domain without any domain truncation or transformation of the domain of the
problem to a finite domain. This approach at first, obtains a sequence of
linear differential equations by using the quasilinearization method (QLM),
then at each iteration solves it by FRBC method. To illustrate the reliability
of this work, we compare the numerical results of the present method with some
well-known results in other to show that the new method is accurate, efficient
and applicable
Application of HPM to Solve Unsteady Squeezing Flow of a Second-Grade Fluid between Circular Plates
In this article, Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to provide two approximate solutions to the nonlinear differential equation that describes the behaviour for the unsteady squeezing flow of a second grade fluid between circular plates. Comparing results between approximate and numerical solutions shows that our results are capable to provide an accurate solution and are extremely efficient
