The convergence of the method is shown with the aid of Banach fixed point theorem. The maximum error bound is specified. The optimal value of auxiliary parameter is obtained by use of residual error function. The fractional derivatives are taken in the Caputo sense. Numerical examples that involve the time-fractional Burgers equation, the time-fractional fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries equation and the time-fractional Fornberg-Whitham equation are examined to show the appropriate properties of the method. The results reveal that a new approach is very effective and convenient.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessVariational Iteration MethodAuxiliary ParameterOptimizationTime-Fractional Partial Differential EquationCaputo-Type DerivativeArticle1742Q2Q3530549WOS:000407309600010
