A new approach is introduced to construct the variational iteration algorithm-II for diffusion problems. Based on this algorithm, the sufficient conditions for convergence of variational iteration method applied to this type of two-point boundary value problems are established. An error analysis is also presented. Several examples are given to illustrate the convergence concept and error estimate.
