Approximate solutions of general perturbed KdV-Burgers equations

Baojian Hong, Dianchen Lu

Abstract:
In this article, we present some approximate analytical solutions to the general perturbed KdV-Burgers equation with nonlinear terms of any order by applying the homotopy analysis method (HAM). While compared with the Adomain decomposition method (ADM) and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the HAM contains the auxiliary convergence-control parameter $\hbar$ and the control function H(x,t), which provides a useful way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series. The numerical results reveal that HAM is accurate and effective when it is applied to the perturbed PDEs.
