  ABSTRACT: In this paper, Homotopy perturbation method is used to find the approximate solution of the optimal control of linear systems. In this method the initial approximations are freely chosen, and a Homotopy is constructed with an embedding parameter , which is considered as a “small parameter”. Some examples are given in order to find the approximate solution and verify the efficiency of the proposed method.
