1. INTRODUCTION
Adomain decomposition method (ADM) [1, 2] is a powerful decomposition methodology for the practical solution of
linear or nonlinear ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, integral equations, etc. This method has
been receiving much attention in recent years in the area of series solutions. The ADM provides an approximate analytic
solution of differential equations; we shall deal here only with the first order linear differential equation.
Consider the first order linear differential equations
dy
p(t ) y f (ut ) (1)
dt
with
y (0) 0.

The analytical solution of (1) is given by

(t ) f (ut )dt y(t ) (t ), (2)

where (t ) e
p ( t ) dt
is an integrating factor.

d
By using the operator L equation (1) can be written as
dt
Ly p (t ) y f (ut ) (3)

or
p(t)y = f (ut) - Ly, (4)

with
y (0) 0.

By applying the standard Adomian decomposition method to equation (4) the solution y will be obtained by the series:

y yi . (5)
i 0

The components y0 , y1 , y2 ,... are calculated by

2. NATURAL TRANSFORM
The Natural transform of the function f (t ) for t (, ) is defined by [5, 6]

e
st
[ f (t )] R(s, u) f (ut )dt ; s, u (, ), (7)

where [ f (t )] is called the Natural transform of time function. Variables s and u are the Natural transform variables.
Equation (7) can be written as
[ f (t )] [ f (t )] [ f (t )] (8)

where
0
[ f (t )] R (s, u ) e
st
f (ut )dt; s, u (,0), (9)

and

[ f (t )] R (s, u) e st f (ut )dt; s, u (0, ) . (10)
0

If the real function f (t ) 0 and f (t ) 0 for t 0 is both piecewise continuous and exponential order, then the Natural
transform is defined on the set

A f (t ) | M , 1 , 2 0,| f (t ) | Me if t (1) j [0, )

t / j

as

[ f (t )] R (s, u) e st f (ut )dt; s, u (0, ),
0

where H () is the Heaviside function.

3. MAIN RESULTS
We now apply Adomian decomposition method to obtain some formulas for Natural transform.
Suppose that p (t ) s where s is a positive constant. Then equation (2) becomes

e
st
f (ut )dt e st y. (11)

Integrating from zero to infinity of equation (11) makes the left hand side of this equation become the Natural transform
of f (t) . Decompose y as in equation (5) to obtain

Example 1. Let f (t) = 1 , then by the Natural transform (12) we have
