Approximate Closed-Form Solutions for the Maxwell-Bloch Equations via the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method

Abstract

This paper emphasizes some geometrical properties of the Maxwell–Bloch equations. Based on these properties, the closed-form solutions of their equations are established. Thus, the Maxwell–Bloch equations are reduced to a nonlinear differential equation depending on an auxiliary unknown function. The approximate analytical solutions were built using the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). These represent the ε-approximate OHAM solutions. A good agreement between the analytical and corresponding numerical results was found. The accuracy of the obtained results is validated through the representative figures. This procedure is suitable to be applied for dynamical systems with certain geometrical properties.
