Convergence of the variational iteration method for solving multi-order fractional differential equations

摘要

In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to obtain approximate solutions of multi-order fractional differential equations (M-FDEs). We can easily obtain the satisfying solution just by using a few simple transformations and applying the VIM. A theorem for convergence and error estimates of the VIM for solving M-FDEs is given. Moreover, numerical results show that our theoretical analysis are accurate and the VIM is a powerful method for solving M-FDEs.
