A nonperturbative approximate analytical solution is derived for the Lane–Emden equation using the Adomian decomposition method. The solution is in the form of a power series with easily computable coefficients. The Padé approximants method is used to accelerate the convergence of the power series. Comparison with some known exact and numerical solutions shows that the present solution is highly accurate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
