In this paper, based on Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative, we apply the fractional variational iteration method using He’s polynomials to obtain solitary and compacton solutions of fractional KdV-like equations. The results show that the proposed method provides a very effective and reliable tool for solving fractional KdV-like equations, and the method can also be extended to many other fractional partial differential equations.
