Homotopy-Based Methods in Water Engineering

Exploring the concept of homotopy from topology, different homotopy-based methods have been proposed for analytically solving nonlinear differential equations, given by approximate series solutions. Homotopy-Based Methods in Water Engineering attempts to present the applicability of these methods to water engineering problems.
