In this paper we qualitatively study radial solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation $\Delta u + u^n = 0$ with $u(0)=1$ and $u'(0)=0$ on positive real line, called Emden-Fowler or Lane-Emden equation. This is great importance in Newtonian astrophysics constant $n$ polytropic index. By introducing a set new variables, can be written as an autonomous system two ordinary differential equation...

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyze the conformally flat spherically symmetric fluid distribution with generalized polytropic equations state. We have developed two different framework for definitions polytropes. frameworks development modified Lane–Emden equation are presented both cases. condition used calculate anisotropy factor which transform considered systems into consistent...

In this paper, we use a numerical method involving collocation method with third B-splines as basis functions for solving a class of singular initial value problems (IVPs) of Lane--Emden type equation. The original differential equation is modified at the point of singularity. The modified problem is then treated by using B-spline approximation. In the case of non-linear problems, we first line...

We propose a new application of the successive linearization method for solving singular initial and boundary value problems of Lane-Emden type. To demonstrate the reliability of the proposed method, a comparison is made with results from existing methods in the literature and with exact analytical solutions. It was found that the method is easy to implement, yields accurate results, and perfor...
