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, ...

In this article, the local fractional variational iteration method is proposed to solve nonlinear partial differential equations within local fractional derivative operators. To illustrate the ability and reliability of the method, some examples are illustrated. A comparison between local fractional variational iteration method with the other numerical methods is given, revealing that the propo...

In this paper, a modified Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (MHSS) iteration method for solving the complex linear matrix equation AXB = C has been presented. As the theoretical analysis shows, the MHSS iteration method will converge under certain conditions. Each iteration in this method requires the solution of four linear matrix equations with real symmetric positive definite coefficien...

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 aim of this paper is to present the recently proposed fluid diffusion based algorithm in the general context of the matrix inversion problem associated to the Gauss-Seidel method. We explain the simple intuitions that are behind this diffusion method and how it can outperform existing methods. Then we present some theoretical problems that are associated to this representation as open resea...

By means of Contractor Iteration Method, we solve and visualize the Lane-Emden(-Fowler) equation Δu+ u = 0, in Ω, u = 0, on ∂Ω. It is shown that the present method converges quadratically as Newton’s method and the computation of Contractor Iteration Method is cheaper than the Newton’s method. Keywords—Positive Solutions; Newton’s Method; Contractor Iteration Method; Eigenpairs.

AbstractAn analytic technique, combination of two methods Homotopy Perturbation Method and Variational Iteration Method are applied for solve second kind of linear Volteera equations. homotopy perturbation method and variational iteration method are employed to solve Volteera integral equations.
