TY - JOUR TI - The local fractional variational iteration method a promising technology for fractional calculus AU - Yang Yong-Ju JN - Thermal Science PY - 2020 VL - 24 IS - 4 SP - 2605 EP - 2614 PT - Article AB - In order to make the local variational iteration algorithm converge faster and more effective, the Sumudu transform is adopted and a proper initial solution is chosen. Some examples are given to show that the presented method is reliable, efficient and easy to implement from a computational viewpoint.
