In this paper, a numerical method based on the hybrid of the quasilinearization method (QLM) and the collocation method is suggested for solving wellknown nonlinear Lane-Emden-type equations as singular initial value problems, which model many phenomena in mathematical physics and astrophysics. First, by using the QLM method, the nonlinear ordinary differential equation is converted into a sequ...

In this paper, second order non-linear ordinary differential equations of Lane-Emden type are solved using the boundary value technique. A class of second derivative backward differentiation formula is derived from some continuous multistep schemes using the multistep collocation technique. The technique transforms the numerical methods to a system of non-linear equations represented as a tridi...

Equation (2) has some oscillation behavior [1-3], In 2012, Liu [4] obtained some oscillation criteria of eq. (1). In the last decades, the Emden-Fowler equations have attracted extensive attention for the relevance to nuclear physics and gaseous dynamics in astrophysics, the oscillation behavior of the Emden-Fowler equations are studied by many scholars [5-10]. In this paper, we further study f...

Polytropic models play a very important role in galactic dynamics and in the theory of stellar structure and evolution. However, in general, the solution of the Lane-Emden equation can not be given analytically but only numerically. In this paper we give a good analytic approximate solution of the Lane-Emden equation. This approximation is very good for any finite polytropic index n and for the...

A numerical method based on Legendre multi-wavelets is applied for solving Lane-Emden equations which form Volterra integro-differential equations. The Lane-Emden equations are converted to Volterra integro-differential equations and then are solved by the Legendre multi-wavelet method. The properties of Legendre multi-wavelets are first presented. The properties of Legendre multi-wavelets are ...

Singular initial-value problems in second-order ordinary differential equations of Lane–Emden type are investigated. In this study, we shall introduce a further development in the Adomian decomposition method to overcome the difficulty at the singular point of non-homogeneous, linear and non-linear Lane–Emden-like equations; especially when the singularity appears on the right-hand side of this...

In this paper, a numerical method, which is called the Laguerre collocation method, for the approximate solution of Lane–Emden type functional differential equations in terms of Laguerre polynomials are derived. The method is based on the matrix relations of Laguerre polynomials and their derivatives, and reduces the solution of the Lane–Emden type functional differential equation to the soluti...

We introduce an iterative method for computing the first eigenpair (λp, ep) for the pLaplacian operator with homogeneous Dirichlet data as the limit of (μq,uq) as q → p −, where uq is the positive solution of the sublinear Lane-Emden equation −∆puq = μqu q−1 q with same boundary data. The method is shown to work for any smooth, bounded domain. Solutions to the Lane-Emden problem are obtained th...

in this paper, an analytical method called the parametric iteration method (pim) is presented for solving the second-order singular ivps of lane-emden type, and its local convergence is discussed. since it is often useful to have an approximate analytical solution to describe the lane-emden type equa- tions, especially for ones where the closed-form solutions do not exist at all, therefore, an ...
