An efficient algorithm for solving fifth-order boundary value problems

In this paper, we apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the fifth-order boundary value problems. The analytical results of the equations have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implementation of the homotopy perturbation method. Comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of the method. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
