Abstract:
This article discusses the use of Adomian decomposition method to solve a variational
problem in calculus of variation with known boundary conditions. Process
begins by changing the variational problem into Euler-Lagrange equation, and then
Adomian decomposition method is applied to the Euler-Lagrange equation. The
obtained solution with this method is in a form of convergent power series. Comparison
between the solutions obtained by Adomian decomposition method and the
exact solution show the efficiency of the Adomian decomposition method.
