The time-dependent nonlinear Boltzmann equation, which describes the time evolution of a single-particle distribution in a dilute gas of particles interacting only through binary collisions, is considered for spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous media without external force and energy source. The nonlinear Boltzmann equation is converted to a nonlinear partial differential equation for the generating function of the moments of the distribution function. The variational-iteration method derived by He is used to solve the nonlinear differential equation of the generating function. The moments for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous media are calculated and represented graphically as functions of space and time. The distribution function is calculated from its moments using the cosine Fourier transformation. The distribution functions for the homogeneous and inhomogeneous media are represented graphically as functions of position and time.

This study presents numerical schemes for solving a parabolic partial differential equation with a time- or space-dependent coefficient subject to an extra measurement. Through the extra measurement, the inverse problem is transformed into an equivalent nonlinear equation which is much simpler to handle. By the variational iteration method, we obtain the exact solution and the unknown coefficients. The results of numerical experiments and stable experiments imply that the variational iteration method is very suitable to solve these inverse problems.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a modified variational iteration method (MVIM) for solving Riccati differential equations. Also the fractional Riccati differential equation is solved by variational iteration method with considering Adomians polynomials for nonlinear terms. The main advantage of the MVIM is that it can enlarge the convergence region of iterative approximate solutions. Hence, the solutions obtained using the MVIM give good approximations for a larger interval. The numerical results show that the method is simple and effective.

In this work, the differential equation of motion of the undamped mathematical pendulum and Duffing-harmonic oscillator are discussed by using the variational iteration method. Additionally, common problems of pendulum are classified and Lagrange multipliers are obtained for each type of problem. Examples are given for illustration.

In this paper, time-fractional non-linear partial differential equation with proportional delays are solved by fractional variational iteration method taking into account modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. The numerical solutions which are calculated by using this method are better than those obtained by homotopy perturbation method and differential transform method with same data set and approximation order. On the other hand, to improve the solutions obtained by fractional variational iteration method, residual error function is used. With this additional process, the resulting approximate solutions are getting closer to the exact solutions. The results obtained by taking into account different values of variables in the domain are supported by compared tables and graphics in detail.

The variational iteration method is applied to solve the Kawahara equation. This method produces the solutions in terms of convergent series and does not require linearization or small perturbation. Some examples are given. The comparison with the theoretical solution shows that the variational iteration method is an efficient method
