Solution of the Lane-Emden Equation Using the Bernstein Operational Matrix of Integration

الملخص EN

Lane-Emden's equation has fundamental importance in the recent analysis of many problems in relativity and astrophysics including some models of density profiles for dark matter halos.

An efficient numerical method is presented for linear and nonlinear Lane-Emden-type equations using the Bernstein polynomial operational matrix of integration.

The proposed approach is different from other numerical techniques as it is based on the Bernstein polynomial integration matrix.

Some illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed algorithm.
