This paper aims to discuss the approximate solution of the nonlinear thin film flow problems. A new analytic approximate technique for addressing nonlinear problems, namely, the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM), is proposed and used in an application to the nonlinear thin film flow problems.

This approach does not depend upon any small/large parameters. This method provides a convenient way to control the convergence of approximation series and to adjust convergence regions when necessary.

The obtained solutions show that the OHAM is more effective, simpler and easier than other methods. The results reveal that the method is explicit. By applying the method to nonlinear thin film flow problems, it was found to be simpler in applicability, and more convenient to control convergence. Therefore, the method shows its validity and great potential for the solution of nonlinear problems in science and engineering.

The proposed method is tested upon nonlinear thin film flow equation from the literature and the results are compared with the available approximate solutions including Adomian decomposition method (ADM), homotopy perturbation method, modified homotopy perturbation method and HAM. Moreover, the exact solution is compared with the available numerical solutions. The graphical representation of the solution is given by Maple and is physically interpreted.

The purpose of this study is an application of the multi-wavelets Galerkin method to delay differential equations with vanishing delay known as Pantograph equation.

The method consists of expanding the required approximate solution at the elements of the Alpert multi-wavelets. Using the operational matrices of integration and wavelet transform matrix, the authors reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations.

Because of the large size of the system, thresholding is used to obtain a new sparse system, and then this new system is solved to reduce the computational effort and related computer run time. The authors demonstrate that the solutions may be efficiently represented in a multi-wavelets basis because of flexible vanishing moments property of this type of multi-wavelets.

The L₂ convergence of the scheme for the proposed equation has been investigated. A series of numerical tests is provided to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.

This paper aims to show that the variational iteration method (VIM) and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) are powerful and suitable methods to solve the Fornberg‐Whitham equation.

Using HPM the explicit exact solution is calculated in the form of a quickly convergent series with easily computable components. Also, by using VIM the analytical results of this equation have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components.

Numerical solutions obtained by these methods are compared with the exact solutions, revealing that the obtained solutions are of high accuracy.

Also the results show that the introduced methods are efficient tools for solving the nonlinear partial differential equations.

Rosenau‐Hyman equation was discovered as a simplified model to study the role of nonlinear dispersion on pattern formation in liquid drops. Also, this equation has important roles in the modelling of various problems in physics and engineering. The purpose of this paper is to present the solution of Rosenau‐Hyman equation.

This paper aims to present the solution of the Rosenau‐Hyman equation by means of semi‐analytical approaches which are based on the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), variational iteration method (VIM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM).

These techniques reduce the volume of calculations by not requiring discretization of the variables, linearization or small perturbations. Numerical solutions obtained by these methods are compared with the exact solutions, revealing that the obtained solutions are of high accuracy. These results reveal that the proposed methods are very effective and simple to perform.

Efficient techniques are developed to find the solution of an important equation.

The purpose of this paper is to use He's Exp‐function method (EFM) to construct solitary and soliton solutions of the nonlinear evolution equation.

This technique is straightforward and simple to use and is a powerful method to overcome some difficulties in the nonlinear problems.

This method is developed for searching exact traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear partial differential equations. The EFM presents a wider applicability for handling nonlinear wave equations.

The paper shows that EFM, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a straightforward and powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear evolution equations. Application of EFM to Fitzhugh‐Nagumo equation illustrates its effectiveness.
