Abstract
The modified variational iteration method is applied for analytical treatment of nonlinear homogeneous initial value problem. The modified variational iteration method accelerates the convergence of the power series solution and reduces the size of work. A comparison between modified variational iteration method (MVIM) and variational iteration method (VIM) was made. The comparison enhances the use of the modified variational iteration method if we wish to obtain an approximate power series solution that converges faster to the closed form solution. The method is very simple and easy. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
