Abstract

In this paper, we will carry out a comparative study between the reduced differential
transform method and the Adomian decomposition method. This is been achieved by handling
the Newell–Whitehead–Segel equation. Two numerical examples have also been carried out to validate
and demonstrate efficiency of the two methods. Furthermost, it is shown that the reduced differential
transform method has an advantage over the Adomian decomposition method that it takes
less time to solve the nonlinear problems without using the Adomian polynomials
