Abstract

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied to solve a parameterized sixth order boundary value problem which, for large parameter values, cannot be solved by other analytical methods for finding approximate series solutions. Convergent series solutions are obtained, no matter how large the value of the parameter is.
