Abstract
In this article, we use an efficient analytical method called homotopy analysis
method (HAM) to derive the frequency of a nonlinear oscillating system. Unlike
the perturbation method, the HAM does not require the addition of a small
physically parameter to the differential equation. It is applicable to strongly and
weakly nonlinear problems. Moreover, the HAM involves an auxiliary parameter,
h, which renders the convergence parameter of series solutions Controllable, and
increases the convergence, and increases the convergence significantly. This
article depicts that the HAM is an efficient and powerful method for solving
oscillating systems.

1 Introduction
Modeling of natural phenomena in most sciences yields nonlinear differential
equations the exact solutions of which are usually rare. Therefore, analytical
methods are strongly needed. For instance, one analytical method, called
perturbation, involves creating a small physically parameter in the problem,
however, finding this parameter is impossible in most cases [1, 2]. Generally
speaking, one simple solution for controlling convergence and increasing it does
not exist in all analytical methods.
In 1992, Liao [3] presented homotopy analysis method (HAM) based on
fundamental concept of homotopy in topology [4-6]. In this method, we do not
need to apply the small parameter and unlike all other analytic techniques, the
HAM provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region
of approximate series solutions. HAM has been successfully applied to solve
many types of nonlinear problems [7, 8].

u ( ) = x 0 , u ( ) = 0, when = 0. (8)
where the prime indicates the derivative respect to . We note that the actual
frequency of the system now appears explicitly in the equation. . u ( ) can be
expressed in the form
+
u ( ) = an cos(n ). (9)
n =1
where a n is a coefficient.
According to (9) and (8), it is obvious for us to choose such an initial guess
u 0 ( ) = x 0 cos( ). (10)
According to Equation (9). We choose the auxiliary linear operator
2 ( ; p )
L [ ( ; p )] = + ( ; p ), (11)
2
which has the property
for any integration constants 1 and 2 . Now with respect to equation (7) we
define the nonlinear auxiliary function N as follows
2 ( ; p )
N [ ( ; p ), ( p )] = 2 ( p ) + ( ; p ) + 3 ( ; p ), (13)
2
where p [0,1] is an embedding parameter, ( ; p ) is a type of mapping of the
unknown function u ( ) and it is a function of and p, ( p ) is kind of mapping
of unknown frequency and it is a function of p.
Now we consider h determine an auxiliary parameter and H ( ) 0 an
auxiliary function, respectively. h increases the results convergence. Then, we
construct the so-called zero-order deformation equation
(1 p ) L [ ( ; p ) u 0 ( )] = h pN [ ( ; p ), ( p )], (14)
(0; p )
(0; p ) = x 0 , = 0, (15)
( ; 0) = u 0 ( ), (0) = 0 , (16)
m ( ; p )
u m ( ) = 1 , (20-a)
m ! p m p =0
1 m ( p )
m = , (20-b)
m ! p m p =0
Differentiating the zero-order deformation equation (14) and (17) m times with
respect to p, then dividing them by m!, and finally setting p=0, we have the so-
called mth-order deformation equation in the following form
L [u m ( ) x mu m 1 ] = h H ( ) R m (u m 1 ,m 1 ), (23)
Subject to initial conditions
u m (0) = 0, u m (0) = 0, (24)
where
1 m 1 N [ ( ; p ), ( p )] m 1 k
R m (u m 1 ,m 1 ) = = ( i k i )u m 1 k + u m 1
(m 1)! p m 1 p =0
k =0 i =0
m 1 k
+ ( u i u k i )u m 1 k (25)
k =0 i =0
where
0, m 1,
x m =
1, m > 1.
It should be noted that we assume H ( ) = 1.
Regarding the nature my problem we can understand that R m (u m 1 , m 1 ) should be

expressed as follows
m
R m (u m 1 , m 1 ) = m , k (m 1 )cos[(2k + 1) ], (26)
k =0
It should be noted that the HPM is a particular from of the analytical HAM, that
is, for h = 1 HAM will equal HPM [3].
3 Result Analysis
The objective of this study is to calculate the value of , and compare it with
exact values of x 02 in Nayfeh [1]. The auxiliary parameter h controls the
convergence of series solutions. Once we obtain , we will be able to plot
versus h ( h curve) for different values of x 02 to acquire the appropriate value
of h to find the exact solution. In this paper, we plot four h curves for four
values of x 02 after 10 iterations for . the optimal h for each curve is shown in the
table [1].

The values obtained through HAM (after 10, iterations for estimating ), HPM
(after 10, iterations for estimating ) and the exact solution for different values of
x 02 are shown in table [2].
As the table [2] depicts, the solution resulting from HAM coincides with the
exact solution in three cases, and is only slightly different in one case. Whereas
for h = 1 (HPM) the solutions are much weaker than those of HAM. The exact
