ABSTRACT: In this paper, a linear delay model in astronomy, called as Ambartsumian equation, is investigated by two different approaches. The first is the approximate homotopy perturbation method (HPM), while the second is a new closed-form solution for this equation. The results are presented through a table and several plots and have been compared with the relevant literature. It is revealed that the present HPM is of higher accuracy than those approximate techniques used in previously published works, when compared with the obtained analytic solution. The convergence of the new analytic solution has been also discussed.
