Abstract A ratio approach based on the simple ratio test associated with the terms of homotopy series was proposed by the author in the previous publications. It was shown in the latter through various comparative physical models that the ratio approach of identifying the range of the convergence control parameter and also an optimal value for it in the homotopy analysis method is a promising alternative to the classically used h-level curves or to the minimizing the residual (squared) error. A mathematical analysis is targeted here to prove the equivalence of both the ratio approach and the traditional residual approach, especially… More >
