Abstract

 

In this article 2 examples of the coupled system of nonlinear partial differential physical equations including diffusion-reaction equation have been investigated by means of variational iteration method which is a new numerical method for solving these types of equations. The results are presented finally in comparison with the exact solution, which show a good agreement and consistency with the exact solution and introduce this method as a powerful and applicable one in this field.

 

Key words: Variational iteration method, physical system of nonlinear differential equation, diffusion-reaction equation.
