I am pleased to share some good news pertaining to one of our mechanicians...Professor Huajian Gao was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences: https://www.amacad.org/newly-elected-members.
A very simple and efficient local variational iteration method for solving problems of nonlinear science is proposed in this paper. The analytical iteration formula of this method is derived first using a general form of first order nonlinear differential equations, followed by straightforward discretization using Chebyshev polynomials and collocation method. The resulting numerical algorithm is very concise and easy to use, only involving highly sparse matrix operations of addition and multiplication, and no inversion of the Jacobian in nonlinear problems.
