A new algorithm for solving differential equations of Lane-Emden type. (English) Zbl 1023.65067

Appl. Math. Comput. 118, No. 2-3, 287-310 (2001).
Summary: A reliable algorithm is employed to investigate the differential equations of Lane-Emden type. The algorithm rests mainly on the Adomian decomposition method with an alternate framework designed to overcome the difficulty of the singular point. The proposed framework is applied to a generalization of Lane-Emden equations so that it can be used in differential equations of the same type.
