Damped Mathieu Equation with a Modulation Property of the Homotopy Perturbation Method

In this article, the main objective is to employ the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) as an alternative to classical perturbation methods for solving nonlinear equations having periodic coefficients. As a simple example, the nonlinear damping Mathieu equation has been investigated. In this investigation, two nonlinear solvability conditions are imposed. One of them was imposed in the first-order homotopy perturbation and used to study the stability behavior at resonance and non-resonance cases. The next level of the perturbation approaches another solvability condition and is applied to obtain the unknowns become clear in the solution for the first-order solvability condition. The approach assumed here is so significant for solving many parametric nonlinear equations that arise within the engineering and nonlinear science.
