Comment on ``Variational iteration method for fractional calculus using He's polynomials'' (Q1938352)

Summary: Recently, \textit{Y. Liu} [ibid. 2012, Article ID 727031, 10 p. (2012; Zbl 1246.65191)] applied the variational homotopy perturbation method for fractional initial boundary value problems. This note concludes that the method is a modified variational iteration method using He's polynomials. A standard variational iteration algorithm for fractional differential equations is suggested.
