Abstract

In this paper we derive solutions for the nonlinear Lane-Emden type of equations with iterative methods, Daftardar-Jafari Method (DJM), Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and Differential Transform Method (DTM). The difficulty of Lane-Emden type of equations for implementing these iterative methods is due to the singularity at $x = 0$. We compare the efficiency of DJM - which is the authentic part of the paper - with ADM and DTM in solving the nonlinear, singular, initial value Lane-Emden type of equations.

In this paper we derive solutions for the nonlinear Lane-Emden type of equations with iterative methods, Daftardar-Jafari Method (DJM), Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and Differential Transform Method (DTM). The difficulty of Lane-Emden type of equations for implementing these iterative methods is due to the singularity at $x = 0$. We compare the efficiency of DJM - which is the authentic part of the paper - with ADM and DTM in solving the nonlinear, singular, initial value Lane-Emden type of equations.
