One of the principal parts of Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is determination of convergence control parameter. This paper aims at comparing the performance in relation to the rate and accuracy of convergence of several different approaches to determination of convergence control parameter in HAM.

homotopy analysis method; optimal control parameter; nonlinear problems
