Numerical continuation calculations for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are, by now, an established tool for bifurcation analysis in dynamical systems theory as well as across almost all natural and engineering sciences. Although several excellent standard software packages are available for ODEs, there are for good reasons no standard numerical continuation toolboxes available for parti...

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...

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...

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...

In this paper we propose a Lagrangian method for solving Lane-Emden equation which is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation on semi-infinite interval. This approach is based on a Modified generalized Laguerre functions Lagrangian method. The method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. We also present the comparison of this work with some ...

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...

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...

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...
