Application of He's variational iteration method to nonlinear heat transfer equations

Instead of finding a small parameter for solving nonlinear problems through perturbation method, a new analytical method called He's variational iteration method (VIM) is introduced to be applied to solve nonlinear heat transfer equations in this Letter.

Modified variational iteration method

In this Letter, we introduce a modified variational iteration method by inserting some unknown parameters into the correctional functional. The main advantage of this method is that one can avoid the uncontrollability problems, of the nonzero endpoint conditions, encountered in the traditional variational iteration method. Moreover, the method is applied to some nonlinear equations and the numerical solutions reveal that the modified method is accurate and efficient to solve a large class of nonlinear differential equations. Furthermore, the method does not share the drawbacks of the conventional variational iteration method, namely the restriction of the order of the nonlinearity term or even the form of the boundary conditions.

Application of variational iteration method and homotopy–perturbation method for nonlinear heat diffusion and heat transfer equations

Perturbation methods depend on a small parameter which is difficult to be found for real-life nonlinear problems. To overcome this shortcoming, two new but powerful analytical methods are introduced to solve nonlinear heat transfer problems in this Letter; one is He's variational iteration method (VIM) and the other is the homotopy–perturbation method (HPM). Nonlinear convective–radiative cooling equations are used as examples to illustrate the simple solution procedures. These methods are useful and practical for solving the nonlinear heat diffusion equation, which is associated with variable thermal conductivity condition. Comparison of the results obtained by both methods with exact solutions reveals that both methods are tremendously effective.     

Dark and kink soliton solutions of the generalized ZK–BBM equation by iterative scheme

The generalized ZK–BBM equation is solved using iterative scheme of the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and variational iteration method (VIM). A dark and a kink soliton solutions of the generalized ZK–BBM equation are obtained under initial conditions. The convergence analysis of the ADM and VIM solution shows that these solutions are convergent. The comparison of the ADM and VIM solutions with the exact solution shows that the solutions of the generalized ZK–BBM equation by the iterative methods are almost exact. The absolute errors show that the accuracy and efficiency of the ADM and VIM depend on the problem and its domain. It is found that the iterative scheme of Adomian decomposition method and variational iteration method are quite efficient for the soliton solution of the generalized ZK–BBM equation.
