An all new technique has been devised to solve non-linear LaneEmden type equations. This novel technique is based on the Perturbation Iteration Algorithm. In this paper, a few examples are presented for the illustration of the power and wide usability of the proposed method. Moreover, a compare and contrast with the actual solution is provided. It has been evaluated that by employment of this m...

We propose a novel mathematical method to construct an exact polytropic sphere in self-gravitating hydrostatic equilibrium, improving the non-linear Poisson equation. The central boundary condition for the present equation requires a ratio of gas pressure to total one at the centre, which is uniquely identified by the whole mass and molecular weight of the system. The special solution derived f...

A numerical method to solve Lane-Emden equations as singular initial value problems is presented in this work. This method is based on the replacement of unknown functions through a truncated series of hybrid of block-pulse functions and Chebyshev polynomials. The collocation method transforms the differential equation into a system of algebraic equations. It also has application in a wide area...

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-...

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 ...

We classify finite Morse index solutions of the following nonlocal Lane-Emden equation (−∆)u = |u|p−1u R for 1 < s < 2 via a novel monotonicity formula. For local cases s = 1 and s = 2 this classification is provided by Farina in [10] and Davila, Dupaigne, Wang and Wei in [8], respectively. Moreover, for the nonlocal case 0 < s < 1 finite Morse index solutions are classified by Davila, Dupaigne...
