New applications of the variational iteration method - from differential equations to q-fractional difference equations

Applications of He’s Variational Principle method and the Kudryashov method to nonlinear time-fractional differential equations

  In this paper, we establish exact solutions for the time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation, and the time-fractional Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV system. The He’s semi-inverse and the Kudryashov methods are used to construct exact solutions of these equations. We apply He’s semi-inverse method to establish a variational theory for the time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation, and the time-fractiona...

A New Modification of the Reconstruction of Variational Iteration Method for Solving Multi-order Fractional Differential Equations

Fractional calculus has been used to model the physical and engineering processes that have found to be best described by fractional differential equations. For that reason, we need a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of fractional differential equations. The aim of this paper is to present an analytical approximation solution for linear and nonlinear multi-order fractional diff...

Variational Iteration Method for q-Difference Equations of Second Order

Solving time-fractional chemical engineering equations by modified variational iteration method as fixed point iteration method

The variational iteration method(VIM) was extended to find approximate solutions of fractional chemical engineering equations. The Lagrange multipliers of the VIM were not identified explicitly. In this paper we improve the VIM by using concept of fixed point iteration method. Then this method was implemented for solving system of the time fractional chemical engineering equations. The ob...

Couple of the Variational Iteration Method and Fractional-Order Legendre Functions Method for Fractional Differential Equations

We present a new numerical method to get the approximate solutions of fractional differential equations. A new operational matrix of integration for fractional-order Legendre functions (FLFs) is first derived. Then a modified variational iteration formula which can avoid "noise terms" is constructed. Finally a numerical method based on variational iteration method (VIM) and FLFs is developed fo...
