Abstract. In this paper, we expand the scope of application of the modified variational iteration method (MVIM) to solve the Impenetrable Agar Model Problem. This model represents the propagation of a bacterial exo-enzyme within an impenetrable host material which simulates the manifestations bacteria do on tissue wounds in an infection. The numerical results show that the MVIM is convenient, efficient, and easy to use for the model problem.
