  In this paper, we present a comparative study between the He-Laplace and Adomain decomposition method. The study outlines the significant features of two methods. We use the two methods to solve the nonlinear Ordinary and Partial differential equations. Laplace transformation with the homotopy method is called He-Laplace method. A comparison is made among Adomain decomposition method and He-Laplace. It is shown that, in He-Laplace method, the nonlinear terms of differential equation can be easy handled by the use He’s polynomials and provides better results.

Introduction</title><p>This paper outlines a reliable Comparison between two powerful methods that were recently developed. The first is Adomain decomposition method (ADM) developed by Adomain in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref2">2</xref>] , and used heavily in the literature in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref3">3</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref10">10</xref>] and the references therein. The second is He-Laplace method, an elegant combination of the Laplace transformation, the homotopy perturbation method and He’s polynomials. The use of He’s polynomial in nonlinear term was first introduced by Ghorbani [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref11">11</xref>] . The proposed algorithm provides the solution in a rapid convergent series which may lead to the solution in a closed form. The two methods give rapidly convergent series with specific significant features for each scheme. Some of the classical analytic methods are lyapunov’s artificial small parameter method [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref12">12</xref>] perturbation techniques [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref13">13</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref14">14</xref>] and Hiroa bilinear method [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref15">15</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref16">16</xref>] . In recent years, many authors have paid attention to study the solution of nonlinear partial differential equation by using various methods. Variational iteration method, He’s semi inverse method [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.51995-ref17">17</xref>] and the differential transform method, etc. are among these. The main objective is to introduce a comparative study to nonlinear ordinary differential and partial differential equations by using adomain decomposition method and He-Laplace method.</p><p>This paper contains basic idea of homotopy pertaturbation method and He-Laplace method in Section 2, Adomain decomposition method in 3, Application in 4 and conclusion and discussions in 5 respectively.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Discussions</title><p>The main goal of this work is to conduct a comparative study between Adomain decomposition method and the He-Laplace method. The two methods are powerful and efficient methods that both give approximations of higher accuracy and closed form solutions if existing.</p><p>An important conclusion can be made here. Adomain decomposition method for solving nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, the same problems are solved by He-Laplace method. Adomain decomposition method provides the components of exact solution, where these components should follow the summation given in (22). However, He-Laplace is an elegant combination of the Laplace transformation, the homotopy perturbation method and He’s polynomials. Moreover, the ADM requires the evaluation of the Adomain polynomial that mostly require tedious algebraic calculations. The ADM provides the solution in successive components that will be added to get the series solution.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="scirp.51995-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">Adomian, G.
