Abstract

Very recently, Liao has invented a Directly Defining Inverse Mapping Method (MDDiM) for nonlinear differential equations. Liao’s method is novel and can be used for solving several problems arising in science and engineering, if we can extend it to nonlinear systems. Hence, in this paper, we extend Liao’s method to nonlinear-coupled systems of three differential equations. Our extension is not limited to single, double or triple equations, but can be applied to systems of any number of equations.
