In this paper, He’s variational iteration method (VIM) is used to obtain approximate analytical solutions of the Abelian differential equation. This method is based on Lagrange multipliers for identification of optimal values of parameters in a functional. Using this method creates a sequence which tends to the exact solution of problem. The method is capable of reducing the size of calculation...

The variational iteration method [1, 2], which is a modified general Lagrange multiplier method, has been shown to solve effectively, easily, and accurately a large class of nonlinear problems with approximations which converges (locally) to accurate solutions (if certain Lipschitz-continuity conditions are met). It was successfully applied to autonomous ordinary differential equations and nonl...

In this paper, we apply the local fractional Laplace transform method (or Yang-Laplace transform) on Volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind within the local fractional integral operators to obtain the analytical approximate solutions. The iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative operators. This approach provides us with a convenient way to find a solution ...

In this paper, a relatively new method, namely variational iteration method (VIM), is developed for free vibration analysis of a Timoshenko beam with different boundary conditions. In the VIM, an appropriate Lagrange multiplier is first chosen according to order of the governing differential equation of the boundary value problem, and then an iteration process is used till the desired accuracy ...
