THE LOCAL FRACTIONAL VARIATIONAL ITERATION METHOD A PROMISING TECHNOLOGY FOR FRACTIONAL CALCULUS

ABSTRACT
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.
