Abstract:
The integral-differential equations describe many
physical phenomena in different fields of the science
and nuclear engineering. The resolution of these
equations is the subject of several papers in which the
authors have approached in most cases numerical methods:
the finite element method, Monte Carlo, truncated series
of Chebyshev polynomials, the fictitious domain method,
SN method.
In this paper we present an algorithm based on the
homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to solve the
homogeneous boundary value for a transport equation,
whose solution is the density of particles. The homotopy
perturbation method is a coupling of traditional
perturbation method and the homotopy function in
topology that continuously deforms the given problem to
another, which can be easily solved. It uses an
embedding parameter p as a “small parameter”, a power
series in p and finally, using the techniques of HPM,
the solution of the given problem will be the sum of a
series.
The new version of He’s homotopy method upon which our
algorithm is built yields rapid convergence of the
solution series and usually only a few iterations lead
to high accuracy solutions. A numerical example proves
the validity and the great potential of this new
homotopy method for particle transport problems.

Mechanics, University of Bucharest, Romania. She
received his PhD in mathematics with the specialization
in Dynamic Plasticity with paper work ‘Applications of
the Finite Element Method in Dynamic Plasticity’. During
of twenty years, she had been senior researcher in
Aircraft Institute, Strength Materials Department.
Technical experience: structural strength computing
reports using ANSYS program (wing-fuselage, fuselage
frame, fin, elevator, rudder and aileron), dynamic and
static test-programs for aircraft structures, fatigue
test-programs for aircraft structures, iterative methods
for the study of the reactions, which correspond to
movable control surfaces, attached at n – points to an
elastic structure and program of this, static and
fatigue computation of the propeller (mono-bloc hub,
blades and blades retention system).
