Show affiliationsThis paper implements the multistage variational iteration method (MVIM) to solve a class of nonlinear system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The domain of validity of the solutions via the standard variational iteration method (VIM) is extended by the simple multistage strategy. Comparisons with the exact solution and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta (RK4) method show that the MVIM is a reliable method for nonlinear equations.
