Abstract: 
The analytical approximate technique developed by Wu et al. for conservative oscillators with odd nonlinearity is used to construct approximate frequency-amplitude relations and periodic solutions to the relativistic oscillator. By combining Newton's method with the method of harmonic balance, analytical approximations to the oscillation period and periodic solutions are constructed for this oscillator. The approximate periods obtained are valid for the complete range of oscillation amplitudes, A, and the discrepancy between the second approximate period and the exact one never exceeds 1.2%, and it tends to 1.1% when A tends to infinity. Excellent agreement of the approximate periods and periodic solutions with the exact ones are demonstrated and discussed.
