Homotopy Analysis Method Analytical Scheme for Developing a Solution to Partial Differential Equations in Fuzzy Environment

Abstract

Partial differential equations are known to be increasingly important in today’s research, and their solutions are paramount for tackling numerous real-life applications. This article extended the analytical scheme of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to develop an approximate analytical solution for Fuzzy Partial Differential Equations (FPDEs). The scheme used its powerful tools, the auxiliary function and convergence-control parameter, in the analysis and optimization, which ensures the convergence of the approximate series solution in addition to considering all necessary concepts from fuzzy set theory to provide high precision in the fuzzy environment. Furthermore, the efficiency was shown by applying the proposed scheme to linear and nonlinear cases of Fuzzy Reaction–Diffusion Equation (FRDE) and Fuzzy Wave Equation (FWE).
