Abstract

The present paper is on two Numerical-Analytic methods- (i) A combined method of Pade approximation and method of successive approximations and (ii) A combined method of Pade approximation and method of homotopy analysis. They provide typical approximate solutions for a singular boundary value problem for nonlinear diffusiontype differential equation of heat transfer.

Keywords
