Abstract

This paper presents the approximate analytical solution of a fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation with the help of the powerful variational iteration method. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Several examples are given and the results are compared to exact solutions. The results show that the variational iteration method is very effective, convenient and simple to use.
