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...

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...

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...

The existence problem is solved, and global pointwise estimates of solutions are obtained for quasilinear and Hessian equations of Lane–Emden type, including the following two model problems: −∆pu = u + μ, Fk[−u] = u + μ, u ≥ 0, on R, or on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R. Here ∆p is the pLaplacian defined by ∆pu = div (∇u|∇u|p−2), and Fk[u] is the k-Hessian defined as the sum of k× k principal minors o...

Monte Carlo (MC) method played an essential role in many areas of human activity and has found application branches physical science. This paper proposes a computational technique based on MC algorithms to solve Lane–Emden (LE) type equations. We analyze four LE equations arising astrophysics: the positive negative indices polytropic gas spheres, isothermal sphere, white dwarf equation. calcula...

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...
