Description
Summary:Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to use a method with a free parameter, named the optimal asymptotic homotopy method (OHAM), in order to obtain the solution of delay differential equations, delay partial differential equations, and a system of coupled delay equations featuring fractional derivative. This method is preferable to others since it has faster convergence toward homotopy perturbation method, and the convergence rate can be set as a controlled area. Various examples are given to better understand the use of this method. The approximate solutions are compared with exact solutions as well.
