In this paper, we apply a new decomposition method for solving initial and boundary value problems, which is due to Noor and Noor [18]. The analytical results are calculated in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. The diagonal Pade approximants are applied to make the work more concise and for the better understanding of the solution behavior. The proposed technique is tested on boundary layer problem; Thomas-Fermi, Blasius and sixth-order singularly perturbed Boussinesq equations. Numerical results reveal the complete reliability of the suggested scheme. This new decomposition method can be viewed as an alternative of Adomian decomposition method and homotopy perturbation methods.

In this paper, we implement a relatively new analytical technique by combining the traditional variational iteration method and the decomposition method which is called as the variational decomposition method (VDM) for solving the sixth-order boundary value problems. The proposed technique is in fact the modification of variatioanal iteration method by coupling it with the so-called Adomian's polynomials. The analytical results of the equations have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Comparisons are made to verify the reliability and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Several examples are given to check the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. We have also considered an example where the VDM is not reliable.

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a family of multi-step iterative methods which do not involve the high-order differentials of the function for solving nonlinear equations using a different type of decomposition (mainly due to Noor and Noor [15]). We also discuss the convergence of the new proposed methods. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and the performance of the new iterative method. Our results can be considered as an improvement and refinement of the previous results.

In this paper, we develop a reliable algorithm which is called the variation of parameters method for solving sixth-order boundary value problems. The proposed technique is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. The suggested iterative scheme finds the solution without any perturbation, discritization, linearization or restrictive assumptions. Moreover, the method is free from the identification of Lagrange multipliers. The fact that the proposed technique solves nonlinear problems without using the Adomian's polynomials can be considered as a clear advantage of this technique over the decomposition method. Several examples are given to verify the reliability and efficiency of the proposed method. Comparisons are made to reconfirm the efficiency and accuracy of the suggested technique.
