Semilinear elliptic equations are ubiquitous in natural sciences. They give rise to a variety of important phenomena in quantum mechanics, nonlinear optics, astrophysics, etc because they have rich multiple solutions. But the nontrivial solutions of semilinear equations are hard to be solved for the lack of stabilities, such as Lane-Emden equation, Henon equation and Chandrasekhar equation. In ...

A numerical method based on B-spline is developed to solve the time-dependent Emden-Fowler-type equations. We also present a reliable new algorithm based on B-spline to overcome the difficulty of the singular point at 0 x = . The error analysis of the method is described. Numerical results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Singular initial value problems are investigated. We extend a decomposition method for di¤erent type Emden-Fowler-like equations. Some special cases of the equation are solved as examples, to illustrate the reliableness of the method. The solutions are constructed in the form of a convergent series.

In this article, we presented a new approach deduced from He’s homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to obtain exact and/or approximate analytical solutions of Emden–Fowler type equations. The results reveal that the proposed algorithm is very effective and in most cases yield exact solutions in the first approximation. Some examples are given to illustrate the new approach.

In this paper, a new shifted ultraspherical wavelets operational matrix of derivatives is introduced. The two wavelets operational matrices, namely Legendre and first kind Chebyshev operational matrices can be deduced as two special cases. Two numerical algorithms based on employing the shifted ultraspherical wavelets operational matrix of derivatives for solving linear and nonlinear differenti...

For 0 < p − 1 < q and either ǫ = 1 or ǫ = −1, we prove the existence of solutions of −∆pu = ǫu q in a cone CS , with vertex 0 and opening S, vanishing on ∂CS , under the form u(x) = |x|ω( x |x|). The problem reduces to a quasilinear elliptic equation on S and existence is based upon degree theory and homotopy methods. We also obtain a non-existence result in some critical case by an integral ty...

In this article, we obtain oscillation conditions for second-order differential equation with neutral term. Our results extend, improve, and simplify some known delay equations. Several effective illustrative implementations are provided.

We discuss the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a higher-order Emden–Fowler type equation with constant potential. Several author’s results are presented concerning both positive and oscillatory solutions to equations with regular and singular nonlinearities. We discuss the existence and asymptotic behavior of “blowup” solutions. Results on the asymptotic behavior of oscillating solutions ar...
