Application of HAM for Nonlinear Integro-Differential Equations of Order Two ()
1. Introduction
In the recent literature, there is a growing interest to solve IDEs, because many problems in mathematical physics, theory of elasticity, visco-dynamics fluid and mixed problems of mechanics of continuous media reduce to the integro-differential Equation (IDEs) (Volterra or Fredholm type) of the first or second kind. Many methods are elaborated as a numerical tool to solve IDEs with initial and boundary conditions, for instance, Adomian decomposition method (ADM) (proposed by Adomian [1] [2] ). It has been shown that ADM yields a rapid convergence of the solution series to linear and nonlinear deterministic and stochastic equations. Then, this has been extended by Wazwaz [3] [4] to Volterra integral equation and to boundary value problems for higher-order integro-differential equations. There are many other methods developed by different researchers for linear and nonlinear IDEs with initial, boundary or mixed conditions, for instance homotopy analysis method (HAM) developed by Liao [5] [6] [7] , modified HAM [8] , q-HAM [9] , new development of HAM [10] , homotopy perturbation method (HPM) developed by Ji-Huan He [11] [12] , HPM for nonlinear differential-difference equations [13] , HPM for nth-Order Integro-Differential Equations [14] , collocation method [15] , new boundary element method [16] , Linear Programming Method [17] , Laplace Decomposition Algorithm [18] , polynomial approximations [19] , Wavelet Galerkin method [20] , and so on.
In this paper, we consider nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integro-differential Equations (FVIDEs) of the order two in the form:
(1)
with the initial conditions
, (2)
where
is the kth derivative of the unknown function
that needs to be determined,
and
are the kernels of the equation,
and
are known analytic functions,
and
are nonlinear functions of
, and
are real constants.
Primarily, to solve nonlinear IDEs (1) and (2), we have applied a integral transformation to reduce it to nonlinear integral Equations (NIEs) of Volterra-Fredholm type; then, we applied the standard HAM together with Gauss-Legendre quadrature Formulas (GLQFs). Once solving nonlinear IEs, the inverse transformation is used to restore the original solutions of the problem (1) and (2). The results obtained are compared with other methods at the same number of iterations with a different number of node points.
2. Gauss-Legendre Quadrature Formula
In Eshquvatov et al. [19] , for the kernels of Fredgholm and Volterra integrals on the interval
the Gauss-Legendre QF are developed

Application of Gauss-Legendre QF for the nonlinear integral is as follows

and
are defined by (5) and (6) respectively.
Quadrature Formulas (7) and (8) are used in the evaluation of kernel integrals when integrals in (9) and (11) have no antiderivative functions.
3. Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM)
Let us rewrite Eq. (1) and (2) in the form

Acing inverse operator
on both sides of Eq. (9) and taking into account initial conditions (2), we obtain

We apply HAM. To do this end search solution of (14) in the series form
(14)
For the sake of clarity, we will first present a brief description of the standard HAM proposed by Liao ( [5] , 1992). He constructed the so-called zeroth-order deformation equation
(15)
Since
then q = 0 and q = 1, leads
,
It is known that m-th order deformation equation is

where
and
(17)
On the basis of Equations (18) and (19), we find sequence of solutions
and substitute it into (16) at

. (18)
To find iterative solution
of the problem (14) and (15), let us choose initial guess
and for

(19)
For

(20)
Continue this procedure, we obtain
(21)
Finding all iterations
and substituting it into (18) yields approximate solution of the Equation (12) which is equivalent solution of integro-differential Equations (1) with initial conditions (2).

Choose initial guess as
then from (21) - (23) it follows that
(26)
(27)
In general, m-th term of iteration can be computed as

Table 4 demonstrates that by increasing the number of iteration, error term of HAM decreases gradually. Thus, the proposed method is highly accurate and suitable. Manafianheris [22] have used LDM for Eq. (46) and got exact solution by LDM. In Eq. (47), it is shown that HAM can also give exact solution too when initial guess

5. Conclusions
In this work, we have developed HAM for nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integro-differential equations by combining Gauss-Legendre quadrature formulas. Numerical results (Example 2 and Example 4) reveled that HAM gave exact solution for the suitable choice of initial guess. From Example 1, it follows that HAM approaches to the exact solution very fast by increasing number of iterations. In Example 2, we can see that HAM and ADM are highly accurate and approaches to the exact solution. Example 3 shows that standard HAM is better than standard ADM. In Example 4, Manafianheris [22] found an exact solution using the Laplace transformation together with ADM, and we also found an exact solution by choosing
as an initial guess. For the another initial guess
, we got a very high accurate solution at
