Variational iteration technique for solving nonlinear equations

In this paper, we use the variational iteration technique to suggest some new iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations f(x)=0. We also discuss the convergence criteria of these new iterative methods. Comparison with other similar methods is also given. These new methods can be considered as an alternative to the Newton method. We also give several examples to illustrate the efficiency of these methods. This technique can be used to suggest a wide class of new iterative methods for solving system of nonlinear equations.
