Abstract In this manuscript, the Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) is presented to solve Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation. The method can be applied to linear and nonlinear problems. Some ex- amples have been carried out in order to illustrate the efficiency and reliability of the method. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35G25 Keywords: Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation, Laplace Adomian decom- position method 1 Introduction In natural phenomena, nonequilibrium systems are usually shown in many ex- tended states: uniform, oscillatory, chaotic, and pattern states. Many stripe patterns, e.g., ripples in sand, stripes of seashells, occure in a variety of spa- tially extended systems which can be described by a set of equation called amplitude equations. One of the most important of amplitude equations is the Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation which describes the appearance of the stripe pattern in two dimensional systems. Moreover, this equation was applied to a number of problem in a variety systems, e.g.,Rayleigh-Benard convection, Fara- day instability, nonlinear optics, chemical reactions and biological systems. In
