Mohyud-Din, Syed Tauseef; Yildirim, Ahmet; Sezer, Sefa Anıl; Usman, Muhammad Modified variational iteration method for free-convective boundary-layer equation using Padé approximation. (English) Zbl 1191.76080 Math. Probl. Eng. 2010, Article ID 318298, 11 p. (2010). Summary: This paper is devoted to the study of a free-convective boundary-layer flow modeled by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We apply a modified variational iteration method (MVIM) coupled with He’s polynomials and Padé approximation to solve free-convective boundary-layer equation. It is observed that the combination of MVIM and the Padé approximation improves the accuracy and enlarges the convergence domain.
