Dehghan, Mehdi; Yousefi, S. A.; Lotfi, A. The use of He’s variational iteration method for solving the telegraph and fractional telegraph equations. (English) Zbl 1210.65173 Int. J. Numer. Methods Biomed. Eng. 27, No. 2, 219-231 (2011). Summary: The variational iteration method is used to compute the solution for the linear, variable coefficient, fractional derivative and multi space telegraph equations. The method constructs a convergent sequence of functions, to approximate the exact solution with a few number of iterations without discretization. Numerical results and comparison with exact solutions are given for some examples in order to show its applicability and efficiency.
