Abstract

The variational iteration method (VIM) can be usefully applied for solving many linear and nonlinear scientific and engineering problems. In this note we show that He's approach for solving nonlinear equations, arising from the VIM, is, actually, Schroder's method presented in his classical work from 1870.
