Application of homotopy perturbation method for solving eighth-order boundary value problems

Homotopy perturbation method is applied to the numerical solution for solving eighth-order boundary value problems. Comparison of the result obtained by the present method with that obtained by modified decomposition method [M. Mesrovic, The modified decomposition method for eighth-order boundary value problems, Appl. Math. Comput. (2006), doi:10.1016/j.amc.2006.11.015] reveals that the present method is very effective and convenient.
