this paper presents a comparison between variational iteration method (vim) and modfied variational iteration method (mvim) for approximate solution a system of volterra integral equation of the first kind. we convert a system of volterra integral equations to a system of volterra integro-di®erential equations that use vim and mvim to approximate solution of this system and hence obtain an appr...

A general iteration formula of variational iteration method (VIM) for fractional heatand wave-like equations with variable coefficients is derived. Compared with previous work, the Lagrange multiplier of the method is identified in a more accurate way by employing Laplace’s transform of fractional order.The fractional derivative is considered in Jumarie’s sense.The results are more accurate tha...

in this paper, we have proposed a new iterative method for finding the solution of ordinary differential equations of the first order. in this method we have extended the idea of variational iteration method by changing the general lagrange multiplier which is defined in the context of the variational iteration method.this causes the convergent rate of the method increased compared with the var...

We present a new numerical method to get the approximate solutions of fractional differential equations. A new operational matrix of integration for fractional-order Legendre functions (FLFs) is first derived. Then a modified variational iteration formula which can avoid "noise terms" is constructed. Finally a numerical method based on variational iteration method (VIM) and FLFs is developed fo...

Fractional calculus has been used to model the physical and engineering processes that have found to be best described by fractional differential equations. For that reason, we need a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of fractional differential equations. The aim of this paper is to present an analytical approximation solution for linear and nonlinear multi-order fractional diff...

In this paper, variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to solve nonlinear oscillators of fractional order. The time-fractional derivatives are described in the Jumarie’s derivative sense. The application of variational iteration method, developed for differential equations of integer order, is extended to derive explicit analytical solutions of the fractional order nonlinear oscillator’s ...
