In this paper, a numerical scheme based on adaption of standard Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is applied to the chaotic Lü system. Then, the standard ADM is converted into a hybrid numeric-analytic method called the multistage ADM (MADM). Numerical comparisons with the standard ADM and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method (RK4) is made in orde
