The Chebyshev finite difference method is applied to solve a system of two coupled nonlinear Lane-Emden differential equations arising in mathematical modelling of the excess sludge production from wastewater treatment plants. This method is based on a combination of the useful properties of Chebyshev polynomials approximation and finite difference method. The approach consists of reducing the ...

The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a numerically effective approximation technique acquire numerical solutions the integer and fractional-order Bratu singular Lane–Emden-type problems especially with exponential nonlinearity. Both initial boundary conditions were considered fractional derivative being in Liouville–Caputo sense. In direct approach, generalized Bessel matrix method bas...

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...

When an unbounded domain is inside a slab, existence of a positive solution is proved for the Dirichlet problem of a class of semilinear elliptic equations that are similar either to the singular Emden-Fowler equation or a sublinear elliptic equation. The result obtained can be applied to equations with coefficients of the nonlinear term growing exponentially. The proof is based on the super an...

The objective of this paper is to apply the well-known exact operational matrices (EOMs) idea for solving the Emden-Fowler equations, illustrating the superiority of EOMs versus ordinary operational matrices (OOMs). Up to now, a few studies have been conducted on EOMs and the differential equations solved by them do not have high-degree nonlinearity and the reported results are not regarded as ...

A new and efficient numerical approach is developed for solving nonlinear Lane-Emden type equations via Bernoulli operational matrix of differentiation.The fundamental structure of the presentedmethod is based on theTaumethod togetherwith theBernoulli polynomial approximations in which a new operational matrix is introduced. After implementation of our scheme, the main problem would be transfor...
