ABD-ELHAMEED, W.M.; DOHA, E.H.; SAAD, A.S. e BASSUONY, M.A.. New galerkin operational matrices for solving lane-Emden type equations. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2016, vol.52, n.1, pp.83-92. ISSN 0185-1101.
Lane-Emden type equations model many phenomena in mathematical physics and astrophysics, such as thermal explosions. This paper is concerned with introducing third and fourth kind Chebyshev-Galerkin operational matrices in order to solve such problems. The principal idea behind the suggested algorithms is based on converting the linear or nonlinear Lane-Emden problem, through the application of suitable spectral methods, into a system of linear or nonlinear equations in the expansion coefficients, which can be efficiently solved. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm in the linear case is that the resulting linear systems are specially structured, and this of course reduces the computational effort required to solve such systems. As an application, we consider the solar model polytrope with n = 3 to show that the suggested solutions in this paper are in good agreement with the numerical results.
