Abstract
In this paper, we apply Picard’s Iteration Method followed by Adomian Decomposition Method to solve a nonlinear Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson- Darboux Equation. The solution of the problem is much simplified and shorter to arriving at the solution as compared to the technique applied by Carroll and Showalter (1976)in the solution of Singular Cauchy Problem.
Keywords:Adomian decomposition method, Singular Cauchy problem.

.The solution of the singular Cauchy problem is unique for k 0 whereas for 0
k it is not unique as indicated in the work of Weinstein (1952).
Carroll and Showalter (1976) dealt primarily with the Cauchy problem for singular and degenerate equation of the form

u
is a function oft

andC t
are families of linear or nonlinear differential type operators acting in E, some of which become zero or infinite at t0. They considered appropriate initial datau

at t0, and ga suitable E -valued function.2. The Adomian Decomposition Method to Singular Cauchy Problem

On comparison of solution of homogeneous part the equation (2)-(3) with that used by Carroll (1951), this is far much simpler for we do not involve transformations which are not easy to identify. Thus Adomian decomposition method offers quite a simpler means of solving nonlinear differential equations.
