✦ Synopsis

The problem of the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet is considered. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied in order to obtain analytical solution of the governing nonlinear differential equations. The obtained results are finally compared through the illustrative graphs with the exact solution and an approximate method. The compression shows that the HAM is very capable, easy-touse and applicable technique for solving differential equations with strong nonlinearity. Moreover, choosing a suitable value of none-zero auxiliary parameter as well as considering enough iteration would even lead us to the exact solution so HAM can be widely used in engineering too.

This communication aims to report the corrections to HAM results presented in a paper by Ghotbi [1]. The graphical results presented by Ghotbi are observed to be divergent as a consequence of the bad selection of the values of auxiliary parameter h.
