Variational iteration method and sumudu transform for solving delay differential equation (Q2282957)

Summary: In this research, a new approach is presented for solving delay differential equations (DDEs) which is a blend of Sumudu transform and variational iteration method (VIM). A general Lagrange multiplier is used to construct a correction functional. This is done with an uncommon Sumudu transform alongside variational theory. A few numerical cases were solved to demonstrate the methodology of this new approach. Objective of this research is to reduce the complexity of computational work compared to the conventional approaches. It can be concluded that the amount of evaluation is reduced but at the same time the results are comparable as in the previous works.
