Abstract

Abstract: This paper utilizes the Variational Iteration Method to address non-linear wave equations. This study provides approximate analytical solutions for both homogeneous and non-homogeneous non-linear wave problems. Moreover, the study provided specific analytical solution formulas for specific cases, which allowed for the determination of the analytical solution without the need for successive iterative operations. Furthermore, this study provided a range of various solved examples and compared the approximate solution with the analytical solution.
