✦ Synopsis

In this paper, a one-step optimal approach is proposed to improve the computational efficiency of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) for nonlinear problems. A generalized homotopy equation is first expressed by means of a unknown embedding function in Taylor series, whose coefficient is then determined one by minimizing the square residual error of the governing equation. Since at each order of approximation, only one algebraic equation with one unknown variable is solved, the computational efficiency is significantly improved, especially for high-order approximations. Some examples are used to illustrate the validity of this one-step optimal approach, which indicate that convergent series solution can be obtained by the optimal homotopy analysis method with much less CPU time. Using this one-step optimal approach, the homotopy analysis method might be applied to solve rather complicated differential equations with strong nonlinearity.

## Marinca et al. [1] made some comments on our paper [2] and pointed out ''some fundamental mistakes and misinterpretations along with a false conclusion". Unfortunately, Marinca's comments are wrong. Here, we further reveal the essence of Marinca's approach, and point out the reason why their me

In this paper, an optimal homotopy-analysis approach is described by means of the nonlinear Blasius equation as an example. This optimal approach contains at most three convergence-control parameters and is computationally rather efficient. A new kind of averaged residual error is defined, which can

This paper presents general framework for solving the nth-order integro-differential equation using homotopy analysis method (HAM) and optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). OHAM is parameter free and can provide better accuracy over the HAM at the same order of approximation. Furthermore, in OH
