Abstract

In the present article, Fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) is used to solve numerically time-fractional diffusion wave equation of order four. By using FVIM we obtain a sequence converging rapidly to the exact solution of the fourth order fractional diffusion wave equation. Two test problem are presented to prove the merit of the proposed technique. Plotted graph shows that the numerical solution acquired by employed technique is similar to the exact solution.
