Description

In this Letter, we purpose to solve nonlinear equations arising in heat transfer through the He's variational iteration method (VIM) and show that it is strongly and simply capable of solving a large class of linear or nonlinear differential equations without the tangible restriction of sensitivity to the degree of the nonlinear term and also is very user friend because it reduces the size of calculations besides, its iterations are direct and straightforward. VIM can apply to the nonlinear equations with boundary or initial conditions defined in different points just with developing the correction functional using the extra parameters such as cn, as used in this Letter
