“…The classical variational iteration method was used in many papers for a variety of problems arising from mathematical physics, see for example, Laplace equation by Wazwaz (2007), quadratic Riccati differential equation by Abbasbandy (2007), a coupled MKdV system by Inc and Cavlak (2008), differential-difference equation by Yildirim (2008), singular equations of Lane-Emden type by Yildirim and Ozis (2009), nth-order integro-differential equations by Abbasbandy and Shivanian (2009), a class of singular boundary value problems by Geng (2009), elastodynamic Greens functions by Akmaz (2009), singular fourth-order parabolic partial differential equations by Noor et al (2009), biochemical reaction model by Goh et al (2010) and fractional equations by Wu and Lee (2010), among many others. However, for some physical models the classical variational iteration method unfortunately fails to converge to the real solution, see for instance the sample works on the nonlinear evolution equations by Ganji and Sadighi (2007) and by Liang and Jeffrey (2009).…”
