Numerical Treatment of Initial Value Problems of Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations by Duan-Rach-Wazwaz Modified Adomian Decomposition Method

We employ the Duan-Rach-Wazwaz modified Adomian decomposition method for solving initial value problems for the systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations numerically. In order to confirm practicality, robustness and reliability of the method, we compare the results from the modified Adomian decomposition method with those from the MATHEMATICA solutions and also from the fourth-order Runge Kutta method solutions in some cases. Furthermore, we apply Padé approximants technique to improve the solutions of the modified decomposition method whenever the exact solutions exist.

This paper is devoted to studying the representation of measures of non-generalized compactness,in particular,measures of noncompactness,of non-weak compactness and of non-super weak compactness,defined on Banach spaces and its applications.With the aid of a three-time order-preserving embedding theorem,we show that for every Banach space X,there exist a Banach function space C(K)for some compact Hausdorff space K and an order-preserving affine mapping T from the super space B of all the nonempty bounded subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff metric to the positive cone C(K)^(+) of C(K),such that for every convex measure,in particular,the regular measure,the homogeneous measure and the sublinear measure of non-generalized compactnessμon X,there is a convex function F on the cone V=T(B)which is Lipschitzian on each bounded set of V such that F(T(B))=μ(B),■B∈B.As its applications,we show a class of basic integral inequalities related to an initial value problem in Banach spaces,and prove a solvability result of the initial value problem,which is an extension of some classical results due to Bana′s and Goebel(1980),Goebel and Rzymowski(1970)and Rzymowski(1971).
