Two numerical algorithms based on variational iteration and decomposition methods are developed to solve a linear partial integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel arising from viscoelasticity. In addition, analytic solution is re-derived by using the variational iteration method and decomposition method.

In this paper, we apply the variational iteration method (VIM) for solving telegraph equations, which arise in the propagation of electrical signals along a telegraph line. The suggested algorithm is more efficient and easier to handle as compare to the decomposition method. Numerical results show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed VIM.

In this paper, we apply the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) for solving evolution equations. The method proved to be fully compatible for the solution of such equations. The higher accuracy of the numerical results shows complete reliability and efficiency of the suggested algorithm. Several examples are given to re-confirm the reliability of the VIM.

Variational iteration method has been favourably applied to various kinds of nonlinear problems. The main property of the method is in its flexibility and ability to solve nonlinear equations accurately and conveniently. In this paper recent trends and developments in the use of the method are reviewed. Major applications to nonlinear wave equation, nonlinear fractional differential equations, ...

-Using the He’s variational iteration method, it is possible to find the exact solutions or better approximate solutions of the partial differential equations. In this method, a correction functional is constructed by a general Lagrange multiplier, which can be identified via variational theory. In this paper, this method is used for solving a nonlinear partial differential equation, a three-di...
