In this paper, we introduced a new generalization method to solve fractional convection–diffusion equations based on the well-known variational iteration method (VIM) improved by an auxiliary parameter. The suggested method was highly effective in controlling the convergence region of the approximate solution. By solving some fractional convection–diffusion equations with a propounded method an...

It is well known that fractional differential equations appeared more and more frequently in different research areas, such as fluid mechanics, viscoelasticity, biology, physics, engineering and other areas of science [1-30]. Considerable attention have been spent in recent years to develop techniques to look for solutions of nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (NFPDEs). Consequ...

The purpose of this paper is to employ an alternative approach to reconstruct the standard variational iteration algorithm II proposed by He, including Lagrange multiplier, and to give a simpler formulation of Adomian decomposition and modified Adomian decomposition method in terms of newly proposed variational iteration method-II (VIM). Through careful investigation of the earlier variational ...

In this paper, a fractional model is established by using the variational iteration method to elucidate thermal properties of building prevention coating with cocoon-like hierarchy. The fractal hierarchical structure heat makes wall mathematically adapted for an extreme temperature environment. This work has inspired bionic design protective suits and clothing.

We introduce and discuss the Homotopy perturbation method, the Adomian decomposition method and the variational iteration method for solving the stefan problem with kinetics. Then, we give an example of the stefan problem with  kinetics and solve it by these methods.

The variational iteration method is employed to solve conservative oscillator containing complicated nonlinearities. In order to expand the nonlinear terms into truncated Fourier series, an approach of undetermined coefficient is proposed. Numerical examples shows the feasibility and efficiency of the variational iteration method as well as the presented technique for Fourier series expansion. ...

In this work, the Blasius equation is studied. Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and homotopy analysis method (HAM) are applied to obtain its solution. Comparison with variational iteration method (VIM) is made to highlight the significant features of employed methods and their capability of handling nonlinear problems. The outcome shows the success of (HPM) and (HAM) for solving nonlinear pro...
