A coupled method of Laplace transform and Legendre wavelets is presented to obtain exact solutions of Lane-Emden-type equations. By employing properties of Laplace transform, a new operator is first introduced and then its Legendre wavelets operational matrix is derived to convert the Lane-Emden equations into a system of algebraic equations. Block pulse functions are used to calculate the Lege...

We analyze the stability of Newtonian polytropic static fluid spheres, described by the Lane-Emden equation. In the general case of arbitrary polytropic indices the Lane-Emden equation is a non-linear second order ordinary differential equation. By introducing a set of new variables, the Lane-Emden equation can be reduced to an autonomous system of two ordinary differential equations, which in ...

The Lane-Emden equation has been used to model several phenomenas in theoretical physics, mathematical physics and astrophysics such as the theory of stellar structure. This study is an attempt to utilize the collocation method with the Rational Chebyshev of Second Kind function (RSC) to solve the Lane-Emden equation over the semi-infinit interval [0,+∞). According to well-known results and com...

This paper provides a technique to investigate the solutions of generalized nonlinear singular Lane–Emden equations of first and second kinds by using a Haar wavelet quasi-linearization approach. The Lane–Emden equation is widely studied and is treated as a challenging equation in the theory of stellar structure for the gravitational potential of a self gravitating, spherically symmetric polytr...

the objective of this paper is applying the well-known exact operational matrices (eoms) idea for solving the emden-fowler equations, illustrating the superiority of eoms over ordinary operational matrices (ooms). up to now, a few studies have been conducted on eoms ; but the solved differential equations did not have high-degree nonlinearity and the reported results could not strongly show the...

where r is a constant, models the thermal behaviour of a spherical cloud of gas acting under the mutual attraction of its molecules and subject to the classical laws of thermodynamics. This equation was proposed by Lane (1) (see also (3)) and studied in detail by Emden (2). Fowler (4; 5) considered a generalization of Eq. (1), called Emden-Fowler equation (6), where the last term is replaced by...

Lane-Emden equation is a nonlinear singular equation that plays an important role in the astrophysics. In this paper, we have applied the collocation method based on rational Chebyshev functions to solve Lane-Emden type equations. The method reduces solving the nonlinear ordinary differential equation to solving a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The comparison of the results with the o...

In this paper we propose a class of second derivative multistep methods for solving some well-known classes of LaneEmden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-infinite domain. These methods, which have good stability and accuracy properties, are useful in deal with stiff ODEs. We show superiority of these methods by applying them on the some famous Lane-...

In this communication, we describe the Homotopy Perturbation Method with Laplace Transform (LT-HPM), which is used to solve the Lane-Emden type differential equations. It's very difficult to solve numerically the Lane-Emden types of the differential equation. Here we implemented this method for two linear homogeneous, two linear nonhomogeneous, and four nonlinear homogeneous Lane-Emden type dif...
