although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.here, after criticizi...

in this paper, nonlinear klein-gordon equation with quadratic term is solved by means of an analytic technique, namely the homotopy analysis method (ham).comparisons are made between the adomian decomposition method (adm), the exact solution and homotopy analysis method. the results reveal that the proposed method is very effective and simple.
