This paper presents a comprehensive review and significant theoretical extension of the Variational Iteration Method (VIM), a powerful semi-analytical technique for solving differential equations. While traditional VIM has demonstrated success for various linear and nonlinear problems, several fundamental limitations have constrained its broader application. This work introduces: (1) A systematic operator-theoretic framework for determining Lagrange multipliers for variable-coefficient and composite operators, extending VIM's applicability beyond canonical forms; (2) Novel adaptive convergence acceleration algorithms that guarantee improved convergence rates through parameter optimization; (3) Multi-scale formulations capable of handling problems with disparate temporal/spatial scales without numerical stiffness; and (4) Demonstrations in cutting-edge application domains including climate dynamics, epidemiology, and nonlinear elasticity. Through rigorous mathematical analysis, comprehensive numerical validation against contemporary methods, and practical implementation guidelines, we establish enhanced VIM as not merely an alternative technique, but as a robust computational framework offering unique advantages in accuracy, efficiency, and physical insight for 21st-century scientific computing challenges.
