✦ Synopsis

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 method is indeed time-consuming: their method is nothing more than a traditional method in approximation theory. Numerical results for a given example and related MATHEMATICA code are given to support our view-points.

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 determi
