Solution of Some Systems of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations by Variational Iteration Method

Abstract

This paper applies the variational iteration method to solve two systems of nonlinear partial differential equations, numerically and/or analytically. Two examples are given to illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the method. Comparison with Adomian decomposition method reveals that the method is easier to be implemented.
