In this paper, we suggest and analyze new higher order family of iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations by using variational iteration technique. We give several examples to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methods. Comparison with other similar methods is also given. New methods can be considered as an alternative of the existing methods. This technique can be used to suggest a wide class of new iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations.

This paper aims to obtain the bounds of a class of integral operators containing Mittag–Leffler functions in their kernels. A recently defined unified Mittag–Leffler function plays a vital role in connecting the results of this paper with the well-known bounds of fractional integral operators published in the recent past. The symmetry of a function about a line is a fascinating property that plays an important role in mathematical inequalities. A variant of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality is established using the closely symmetric property for $(\alpha ,m)$-convex functions.
