New applications of the variational iteration method-From differential equations to q-Fractional difference equations

Abstract

The non-classical calculi such as q-calculus, fractional calculus and q-fractional calculus have been hot topics in both applied and pure sciences. Then some new linear and nonlinear models have appeared. This study mainly concentrates on the analytical aspects, and the variational iteration method is extended in a new way to solve an initial value problem. © 2013 Wu and Baleanu; licensee Springer.
