The variational iteration method for solving a neutral functional-differential equation with proportional delays. (English) Zbl 1193.65145
Summary: The variational iteration method is applied to neutral functional-differential equations with proportional delays. Illustrative examples are given to show the efficiency of the method. We also compare the performance of the method with that of a particular Runge-Kutta method and a one-leg $\theta$-method.
