An Application of the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method to Generalized Van der Pol Oscillator

Abstract:

In this paper we illustrate the application of an alternative of the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) to nonlinear generalized van der Pol oscillator. The obtained results proved a very fast convergence and validate this approach, which is found to be reliable and easy to use. Two numerical examples are developed in order to emphasize the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach.
