AB - This note presents a Laplace transform approach in the determination of the  Lagrange multiplier when the variational iteration method is applied to time  fractional heat diffusion equation. The presented approach is more  straightforward and allows some simplification in application of the  variational iteration method to fractional differential equations, thus  improving the convergence of the successive iterations.
