Abstract: "Variational iteration method is used to construct solitary solutions and compacton-like solutions for nonlinear dispersive equations. The chosen initial solution (trial function) can be in compacton form or in soliton form with some unknown parameters which can be determined in the solution procedure. The compacton-like solution can be converted to solitary solution by suitable choice of a parameter, and vice versa."
