We consider weak positive solutions of the equation −∆mu = f(u) in the halfplane with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Assuming that the nonlinearity f is locally Lipschitz continuous and f(s) > 0 for s > 0, we prove that any solution is monotone. Some Liouville type theorems follow in the case of Lane-Emden-Fowler type equations. Assuming also that |∇u| is globally bounded, our result impli...

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...

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...

In this paper, the ultraspherical operational matrices of derivatives are constructed. Based on these operational matrices, two numerical algorithms are presented and analyzed for obtaining new approximate spectral solutions of a class of linear and nonlinear Lane-Emden type singular initial value problems. The basic idea behind the suggested algorithms is basically built on transforming the eq...

Monte Carlo (MC) method played an essential role in many areas of human activity and has found application branches physical science. This paper proposes a computational technique based on MC algorithms to solve Lane–Emden (LE) type equations. We analyze four LE equations arising astrophysics: the positive negative indices polytropic gas spheres, isothermal sphere, white dwarf equation. calcula...

The application of a new modified Adomian decomposition method for obtaining the analytic solution of Lane-Emden type equations is investigated. The proposed method, called the spectral Adomian decomposition method, is based on a combination of spectral method and Adomian decomposition method. A comparative study between the proposed method and Adomian decomposition method is presented. The obt...

The existence of a class of nonoscillatory solutions for a generalized Emden–Fowler differential equation is studied. Some analogies and discrepancies between the continuous and discrete case are also discussed. AMS subject classification: Primary 34C10, Secondary 34C15, 39A10.
