In a recent paper, Abassy et al. (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 207:137-147, 2007) proposed a modified variational iteration method (MVIM) for a special kind of nonlinear differential equations. In this paper, we consider variational iteration method (VIM) and MVIM (proposed in Abassy et al., J. Comput. Appl. Math. 207:137-147, 2007) to obtain an approximate series solution to the generalized Fisher's equation which converges to the exact solution in the region of convergence. It is also shown that the application of VIM to the generalized Fisher's equation leads to calculation of unneeded terms for series solution. Therefore, we use MVIM to overcome this disadvantage. Comparison of error between VIM and MVIM is made. The results show that the MVIM is more effective than the VIM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
