Solving Non Linear Differential Equations By Using A G - Homotopy Analysis Method

This paper proposes an efficient hybrid analytical method named the Generalized Homotopy Analysis Method (GHAM) for solving nonlinear differential equations. The proposed hybrid method consists of topology based Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) and Laplace typed integral transform (G-transform). Compared with HAM, GHAM does not require the effort to perform repeated integration and differentiation, when it is applied to solve higher order differential equations. Compared with G-transform, GHAM serves as an effective approach to tackle higher-order nonlinear differential equations. The effectiveness of GHAM is illustrated through the analysis of numerical examples, and the obtained results are graphically depicted. Also, GHAM is effectively utilized to analyze the density of the forest cover incorporating various parameters, which include the seed reproduction, seed deposition, seed establishment rates, old trees due to aging and the coefficients of mortality due to space variables.
