Abstract
In this paper, the multistage homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is applied to realize the synchronization between the Lorenz system and the Chen system using active control. The multistage HPM is only a simple modification of the standard HPM, in which it is treated as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals for finding accurate approximate solutions. The simulation results reveal that the multistage method is an effective tool to give the approximate analytical solutions for chaotic systems.
