Abstract

The periodic wave solution of a second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation is obtained by the homotopy analysis method, an analytical, totally explicit mathematical technique. By choosing a proper auxiliary parameter, the new series solution converges very fast. The method provides us with a simple way to adjust the convergence region. Furthermore, a significant improvement of the convergence rate and region is achieved by applying Homotopy-Pade approximants. Three examples demonstrate the excellent computation accuracy and efficiency of the present HAM approach. The present method could be extended for more complicated wave equations.
