Summary

Abstract In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method is used to implement the nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries equation. The analytical solution of the equation is calculated in the form of a convergent power series with easily computable components. A suitable choice of an initial solution can lead to the needed exact solution by a few iterations. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
