Convergence Analysis of Variational Iteration Method for Caputo Fractional Differential Equations

In this paper, the variational iteration method is applied to solve initial value problems of Caputo fractional differential equations. The convergence of the variational iteration method for solving the initial value problems of the kind of equation has been proved. The numerical examples show the efficiency of the variational iteration method for solving the initial value problems of the kind of equation.
