Abstract

In this paper, the combination of quasilinearization and collocation methods is used for solving the problem of the boundary layer flow of Eyring–Powell fluid over a stretching sheet. The proposed approach is based on Hermite function collocation method. The quasilinearization method is used for converting the non-linear Eyring–Powell problem to a sequence of linear equations and the Hermite collocation method is applied for solving linear equations at each iteration. In the end, the obtained result of the present work is compared with the obtained results in other papers.
