A Numerical Method for Lane-Emden Equations Using Hybrid Functions and the Collocation Method

A numerical method to solve Lane-Emden equations as singular initial value problems is presented in this work. This method is based on the replacement of unknown functions through a truncated series of hybrid of block-pulse functions and Chebyshev polynomials. The collocation method transforms the d...
