This paper presents a study of the relationship between the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and harmonic balance (HB) method. The HAM is employed to obtain periodic solutions of conservative oscillators and limit cycles of self-excited systems, respectively. Different from the usual procedures in the

β¦ Synopsis
A new transform, namely the homotopy transform, is defined for the first time. Then, it is proved that the famous Euler transform is only a special case of the so-called homotopy transform which depends upon one non-zero auxiliary parameter h and two convergent series P ΓΎ1 kΒΌ1 a 1;k ΒΌ 1 and
In the frame of the homotopy analysis method, a general analytic approach for highly nonlinear differential equations, the so-called homotopy transform is obtained by means of a simple example. This fact indicates that the famous Euler transform is equivalent to the homotopy analysis method in some special cases. On one side, this explains why the convergence of the series solution given by the homotopy analysis method can be guaranteed. On the other side, it also shows that the homotopy analysis method is more general and thus more powerful than the Euler transform.

In a recent paper which appeared in this journal, Cheon [1] rederived several known properties and relationships involving the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. The object of the present sequel to Cheon's work [1] is to show (among other things) that the main relationship (proven in [1]) ca
The present work is devoted to using an analytic approach, namely the homotopy analysis method, to obtain convergent series solutions of strongly nonlinear problems. On the basis of the homotopy derivative concept described in Liao (2009) [3], a theorem is proved here which generalizes some lemmas a
In this study, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used to investigate non-linear vibration behaviour of Euler-Bernoulli beams subjected to axial loads. Analytical expressions for geometrically non-linear vibration of beams are provided. The effect of vibration amplitude on the non-linear frequenc
