Abstract

In this Letter, we introduce a modified variational iteration method by inserting some unknown parameters into the correctional functional. The main advantage of this method is that one can avoid the uncontrollability problems, of the nonzero endpoint conditions, encountered in the traditional variational iteration method. Moreover, the method is applied to some nonlinear equations and the numerical solutions reveal that the modified method is accurate and efficient to solve a large class of nonlinear differential equations. Furthermore, the method does not share the drawbacks of the conventional variational iteration method, namely the restriction of the order of the nonlinearity term or even the form of the boundary conditions.
