The various industrial and engineering applications of flow of fluid between parallel plates have continued to generate renewed interests. In this work, a comparative study of approximate analytical methods is carried out using differential transformation,homotopy perturbation, Adomian decomposition, variation of parameter and variational iteration methods for the analysis of a steady two-dimen...

in this paper a modification of he's variational iteration method (vim) has been employed to solve dung and riccati equations. sometimes, it is not easy or even impossible, to obtain the first few iterations of vim, therefore, we suggest to approximate the integrand by using suitable expansions such as taylor or chebyshev expansions.

The objective of this paper is to present the hybrid variational iteration method. The proposed algorithm is based on the combination of variational iteration and shooting methods. In the proposed algorithm the entire domain is divided into subintervals to establish the accuracy and convergence of the approximate solution. It is found that in each subinterval a three term approximate solution u...

In this paper, the multistage variational iteration method is implemented to solve a general form of the system of first-order differential equations. The convergence of the proposed method is given. To illustrate the proposed method, it is applied to a model for HIV infection of CD4+ T cells and the numerical results are compared with those of a recently proposed method.

This paper deals with the boundary and initial value problems for the Bratu-type model by using the modified variational iteration method. The efficiency of this modified method is to provide the analytical or approximate solutions to linear and nonlinear equations without the integral related with nonlinear term, linearization or discretization, which makes it reliable for solving the nonlinea...

In this paper, a modification of variational iteration method is applied to solve fractional integro-differential equations. The fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. Through examples, we will see the modified method performs extremely effective in terms of efficiency and simplicity to solve fractional integro-differential equations. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 6...

In this paper, fuzzy variational iteration method (FVIM) is proposed to solve the second- order fuzzy Abel-Volterra integro-differential equations. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed method are proved in details. is investigated to verify convergence results and to illustrate the efficiently of the method.
