LAPLACE TRANSFORM OVERCOMING PRINCIPLE DRAWBACKS IN APPLICATION OF THE VARIATIONAL ITERATION METHOD TO FRACTIONAL HEAT EQUATIONS

Abstract

This note presents a Laplace transform approach in the determination of the agrange multiplier when the variational iteration method is applied to time fractional eat diffusion equation. The presented approach is more straightforward nd allows some simplification in application of the variational iteration method to ractional differential equations, thus improving the convergence of the successive terations.
