A Hybrid Approach of the Variational Iteration Method and Adomian Decomposition Method for Solving Fractional Integro-Differential Equations
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this study, we propose a hybrid analytical technique that integrates the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) with the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) to solve both linear and nonlinear integro-differential equations of integer and fractional orders. This approach extends and refines the Odibat Decomposition Method (ODM) by addressing key limitations inherent in ADM and VIM—specifically, the reliance on linearization, Adomian polynomials, and Lagrange multipliers. By circumventing these computational complexities, the proposed method enables the direct and efficient construction of series solutions with improved convergence properties. The hybrid scheme is designed for broader applicability and enhanced computational simplicity, making it a powerful tool for analyzing complex integro-differential systems. Its effectiveness and robustness are demonstrated through a range of illustrative examples, confirming the method’s capability to provide accurate analytical approximations with minimal computational overhead.
