Abstract

A semi-numerical solution to Dokshitzer- Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations at leading order (LO), next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the small-x limit is presented. Here we have used Taylor series expansion method to solve the evolution equations and, t- and x-evolutions of the singlet structure functions have been obtained with such solution. We have also calculated t- and x-evolutions of deuteron structure functions F_2^d, and the results are compared with the E665 data and NMC data. The results are also compared to those obtained by the fit to F_2^d produced by the NNPDF collaboration based on the NMC and BCDMS data.
