AN APPROXIMATE SOLUTION FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF WAVE PROBLEMS
Abstract
In this article, He’s variational iteration method (VIM) is implemented to solve the non-homogeneous dissipative wave, Helmholtz and some nonlinear fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries (FKdV) partial differential equations with specified initial conditions. The initial approximations can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants which can be determined by imposing the boundary or initial conditions after few iterations. Comparison of the results with those obtained by exact solution and Adomian’s decomposition method reveals that VIM is very effective, convenient and quite accurate to both linear and nonlinear problems. It is predicted that VIM can be widely applied in engineering
