2 The Principle of the New Modification of the Homotopy Perturbation Method

Abstract

In the paper "Exact solutions for nonlinear integral equations by a modified homotopy perturbation method" by A. Ghorbani and J. Saberi-Nadjafi, Computers and Mathematics with Applications, 56, (2008) 1032-1039, the authors introduced a new modification of the homotopy perturbation method to solve nonlinear integral equations.We discuss here the restrictions on their method for solving nonlinear integral equations. We also prove analytically that the method given by Ghorbani and Saberi-Nadjafi is equivalent to the series solution method when selective functions are polynomials
