Revised Variational Iteration Method for Solving Systems of Nonlinear Fractional-Order Differential Equations

A modification of the variational iteration method (VIM) for solving systems of nonlinear fractional-order differential equations is proposed. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The solutions of fractional differential equations (FDE) obtained using the traditional variati...
