Our numerical results are compared with those obtained by the modi?ed Gauss elimination method. Our results reveal that the technique introduced here isvery e?ective, convenient, and quite accurate toone-dimensional fractional hyperbolic partial di?erentialequations.Applicationofvariationaliterationtechniquetothisproblemhasshownthe rapidconvergence ofthesequenceconstructed bythismethodtotheexactsolution.

Thevariationaliterationmethod VIM,whichwasproposedbyHesee,e.g.,12– 21,wassuccessfullyappliedtoautonomousordinaryandpartialdi?erentialequationsand other ?elds. He 15 was the ?rst research who applied the VIM to fractional di?erential equations. Odibat and Momani 22 extended the application of this method to provide approximatesolutionsforinitialvalueproblemsofnonlinearpartialdi?erentialequations of fractional order. VIM 23–25 is relatively a new approach to provide an analytical approximation to
