In this paper, we present technique combined between Homotopy analysis method and the
Laplace transform to obtain the series solution of a certain type of third order nonlinear
boundary value problem with one boundary condition at infinity. The obtained analytic series
solution from this technique is combined with the Padé approximation techniques to handle
the boundary condition at infinity. We this technique applied to the boundary value problem
resulting from the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet, this
technique success to obtain the two branches of solutions for important parameter.
Comparison of the present solution is made with the existing solution and excellent agreement
is noted.
