Abstract
In this work, the main concept of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) was outlined and convergence theorems of the HPM for solving some classes of nonlinear integral, integro-differential and differential equations were proved. A theorem for estimating the error in the approximate solution was proved as well. The proposed HPM convergence theorems were confirmed and the efficiency of the technique was explored by applying the HPM for solving several classes of nonlinear integral/integro-differential equations.
