Soliton solutions for the fifth-order KdV equation with the homotopy analysis method. (English) Zbl 1170.76317
Summary: An analytic technique, the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is applied to obtain the soliton solution of the fifth-order KdV equation. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) provides us with a new way to obtain series solutions of such problems. HAM contains the auxiliary parameter $$\hbar$$, which provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of series solution.
