ABSTRACT:
This research paper deals with the boundary and initial value problems for the Bratu-type model by using the New Improved Variational Homotopy Perturbation Method. The New Method does not require discritization, linearization or any restrictive assumption of any form in providing analytical or approximate solutions to linear and nonlinear equation without the integral related with nonlinear term. Theses virtues make it to be reliable and its efficiency is demonstrated with numerical examples.
