In this article, we propose a new approximate procedure based on He’s variational iteration method for solving nonlinear hyperbolic equations. We introduce two transformations q = ut and σ = ux and formulate a first-order system of equations. We can obtain the approximation solution for the scalar unknown u, time derivative q = ut and space derivative σ = ux, simultaneously. Finally, some examp...

In this paper, the variational iteration method proposed by Ji-Huan He is applied to solve both linear and nonlinear boundary value problems for fourth order integro-differential equations. The numerical results obtained with minimum amount of computation are compared with the exact solutions to show the efficiency of the method. The results show that the variational iteration method is of high...

In this paper, by considering the variational iteration method, a kind of explicit exact and numerical solutions to the Lienard equation is obtained, and the numerical solutions has been compared with their known theoretical solution. The variational iteration method is based on Lagrange multipliers for identification of optimal value of parameters in a functional. Using this method, it is poss...

In this paper, we apply a new method for solving system of partial differential equations within local fractional derivative operators. The approximate analytical solutions are obtained by using the local fractional Laplace variational iteration method, which is the coupling method of local fractional variational iteration method and Laplace transform. Illustrative examples are included to demo...

The solution of the fractional hyperbolic partial differential equation is obtained by means of the variational iteration method. Our numerical results are compared with those obtained by the modified Gauss elimination method. Our results reveal that the technique introduced here is very effective, convenient, and quite accurate to one-dimensional fractional hyperbolic partial differential equa...
