Abstract
In this study, we describe a modified analytical algorithm for the resolution of nonlinear differential equations by the variation of parameters method (VPM). Our approach, including auxiliary parameter and auxiliary linear differential operator, provides a computational advantage for the convergence of approximate solutions for nonlinear boundary value problems. We consume all of the boundary conditions to establish an integral equation before constructing an iterative algorithm to compute the solution components for an approximate solution. Thus, we establish a modified iterative algorithm for computing successive solution components that does not contain undetermined coefficients, whereas most previous iterative algorithm does incorporate undetermined coefficients. The present algorithm also avoid to compute the multiple roots of nonlinear algebraic equations for undetermined coefficients, whereas VPM required to complete calculation of solution by computing roots of undetermined coefficients. Furthermore, a simple way is considered for obtaining an optimal value of an auxiliary parameter via minimizing the residual error over the domain of problem. Graphical and numerical results reconfirm the accuracy and efficiency of developed algorithm.
