Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider a steady two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Falkner-Skan boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous electrically fluid over a permeable wall in the presence of a magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach – The governing equations of MHD Falkner-Skan flow are transformed into an initial values problem of an ordinary differential equation using the Lie symmetry method which are then solved by He's variational iteration method with He's polynomials. Findings – The approximate solution is compared with the known solution using the diagonal Pad’e approximants and the geometrical behavior for the values of various parameters. The results reveal the reliability and validity of the present work, and this combinational method can be applied to other nonlinear boundary layer flow problems. Originality/value – In this paper, an approximate analytical solution of the MHD Falkner-Skan flow problem is obtained by combining the Lie symmetry method with the variational iteration method and He's polynomials.

AbstractIn this paper, based on Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative, we apply the fractional variational iteration method using He’s polynomials to obtain solitary and compacton solutions of fractional KdV-like equations. The results show that the proposed method provides a very effective and reliable tool for solving fractional KdV-like equations, and the method can also be extended to many other fractional partial differential equations.

Purpose – In an earlier paper (Turkyilmazoglu, 2011a), the author introduced a new optimal variational iteration method. The idea was to insert a parameter into the classical variational iteration formula in an aim to prevent divergence or to accelerate the slow convergence property of the classical approach. The purpose of this paper is to approve the superiority of the proposed method over the traditional one on several physical problems treated before by the classical variational iteration method. Design/methodology/approach – A sufficient condition theorem with an upper bound for the error is also presented to further justify the convergence of the new variational iteration method. Findings – The optimal variational iteration method is found to be useful for heat and fluid flow problems. Originality/value – The optimal variational iteration method is shown to be convergent under sufficient conditions. A novel approach to obtain the optimal convergence parameter is introduced.

Purpose Vibration of large membranes has great utility in engineering application such as in important parts of drums, pumps, microphones, telephones and other devices. So, to obtain a numerical solution of this type of problems is necessary and important. In general, in existing approaches, involved parameters and variables are defined exactly. Whereas in actual practice, it may contain uncertainty owing to error in observations, maintenance-induced error, etc. So, the main purpose of this paper is to solve this important problem numerically under fuzzy and interval uncertainty to have an uncertain solution and to study its behaviour. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors have considered a new approach is known as double parametric form of fuzzy number to model uncertain parameters. Along with this a semianalytical approach, i.e. variational iteration method, has been used to obtain uncertain bounds of the solution. Findings The variational iteration method has been successfully implemented along with the double parametric form of fuzzy number to find the uncertain solution of the vibration equation of a large membrane. The advantage of this approach is that the solution can be written in a power series or a compact form. Also, this method converges rapidly to obtain an accurate solution. Various cases depending on the functional value involved in the initial conditions have been studied and the behaviour has been analysed. Applying the double parametric form reduces the computational cost without separating the fuzzy equation into coupled differential equations as done in traditional approaches. Originality/value The vibration equation of large membranes has been solved under fuzzy and interval uncertainty. Uncertainties have been considered in the initial conditions. New approaches, i.e. variational iteration method along with the double parametric form, have been applied to solve the vibration equation of large membranes.

This paper outlines a detailed study of the coupling of He's polynomials with correction functional of variational iteration method (VIM) for solving various initial and boundary value problems. The elegant coupling gives rise to the modified versions of VIM which is very efficient in solving nonlinear problems of diversified nature. It is observed that the variational iteration method using He's polynomials (VIMHP) is very efficient, easier to implements, and more user friendly. Several examples are given to reconfirm the efficiency of the proposed VIMHP.

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to implement the piecewise spectral-variational iteration method (PSVIM) to solve the nonlinear Lane-Emden equations arising in mathematical physics and astrophysics. Design/methodology/approach This method is based on a combination of Chebyshev interpolation and standard variational iteration method (VIM) and matching it to a sequence of subintervals. Unlike the spectral method and the VIM, the proposed PSVIM does not require the solution of any linear or nonlinear system of equations and analytical integration. Findings Some well-known classes of Lane-Emden type equations are solved as examples to demonstrate the accuracy and easy implementation of this technique. Originality/value In this paper, a new and efficient technique is proposed to solve the nonlinear Lane-Emden equations. The proposed method overcomes the difficulties arising in calculating complicated and time-consuming integrals and terms that are not needed in the standard VIM.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the applications of Lie symmetry method on the boundary value problem (BVP) for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid mechanics. Design/methodology/approach The authors solved a BVP for nonlinear PDEs in fluid mechanics based on the effective combination of the symmetry, homotopy perturbation and Runge–Kutta methods. Findings First, the multi-parameter symmetry of the given BVP for nonlinear PDEs is determined based on differential characteristic set algorithm. Second, BVP for nonlinear PDEs is reduced to an initial value problem of the original differential equation by using the symmetry method. Finally, the approximate and numerical solutions of the initial value problem of the original differential equations are obtained using the homotopy perturbation and Runge–Kutta methods, respectively. By comparing the numerical solutions with the approximate solutions, the study verified that the approximate solutions converge to the numerical solutions. Originality/value The application of the Lie symmetry method in the BVP for nonlinear PDEs in fluid mechanics is an excellent and new topic for further research. In this paper, the authors solved BVP for nonlinear PDEs by using the Lie symmetry method. The study considered that the boundary conditions are the arbitrary functions Bi(x)(i = 1,2,3,4), which are determined according to the invariance of the boundary conditions under a multi-parameter Lie group of transformations. It is different from others’ research. In addition, this investigation will also effectively popularize the range of application and advance the efficiency of the Lie symmetry method.
