“…The variational iteration method (VIM) is one of the important methods used to obtain approximate analytical solutions [22][23][24][25] and possesses some good properties, such as flexibility, convenience, accuracy, and less storage. In particular, this method was used to solve pantograph equations [26,27], differential (integral) equations [28][29][30], fractional differential (integral) equations [31][32][33][34], delay differentialalgebraic equations [35] and fractional differential-algebraic equations [36], and so forth.…”
