Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper, we have extended the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to find approximate analytical solutions for some nonlinear differential-difference equations (NDDEs). The discretized modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) lattice equation and the discretized nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation are taken as examples to demonstrate the validity and the great potential of the HPM in solving such NDDEs. Comparisons are made between the results of the presented method and exact solutions. The obtained results reveal that the HPM is a very effective and convenient tool for solving such kind of equations.
