In this paper, we present a comparative study between the variational iteration method and the Adomian decomposition method. The study highlights the significant features of both the methods. The analysis is illustrated by working out some problems on ordinary and partial differential equations.

Adomian decomposition method (ADM), approximate Lagrange multipliers, exact Lagrange multipliers, variational iteration method (VIM).
