In this paper, a well-known equation used in astrophysics and mathematical physics called the Lane-Emden equation is to be solved by a variational iteration method. The main purpose of this approach is to solve the singular initial value problems and also boundary value problem of Lane-Emden type equations. This technique overcomes its singularity at origin rapidly. It gives the approximate and exact solution with easily computable terms. The approach is illustrated with some examples to show its reliability and compactness.

The main objective of this paper is to solve fuzzy initial value problems, in which the fuzziness occurs in the initial conditions. The proposed approach, namely the modified variational iteration method, will be used to find the solution of fuzzy initial value problem approximately and to increase the rate of convergence of the variational iteration method. From the obtained results, as it is expected, the approximate results of the proposed method are more accurate than those results obtained without using the modified variational iteration method.

The variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to solve singular perturbation initial value problems with delays (SPIVPDs). Some convergence results of VIM for solving SPIVPDs are given. The obtained sequence of iterates is based on the use of general Lagrange multipliers; the multipliers in the functionals can be identified by the variational theory. Moreover, the numerical examples show the efficiency of the method.

In this paper, we solve the variant Boussinesq equation by the modified variational iteration method. The approximate solutions to the initial value problems of the variant Boussinesq equation are provided, and compared with the exact solutions. Numerical experiments show that the modified variational iteration method is efficient for solving the variant Boussinesq equation.

AbstractIn this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is used to examine the Volterra integro-differential forms of the singular Lane–Emden and the Emden–Fowler initial value problems and boundary value problems arising in physics, astrophysics and stellar structures. The Volterra integro-differential forms of the Lane–Emden and the Emden–Fowler equations overcome the singularity behavior at the origin x = 0. The Lagrange multiplier, needed for the VIM, is λ = −1 for the various cases of the specified equations having distinct shape factors. We illustrate our work by analyzing few initial value problems and boundary value problems to emphasize the convergence of the acquired results.
