We present two new analytic methods that are used for solving initial value problems that model polytropic and stellar structures in astrophysics and mathematical physics. The applicability, effectiveness, and reliability of the methods are assessed on the Lane-Emden equation which is described by a second-order nonlinear differential equation. The results obtained in this work are also compared with numerical results of Horedt (1986) which are widely used as a benchmark for testing new methods of solution. Good agreement is observed between the present results and the numerical results. Comparison is also made between the proposed new methods and existing analytical methods and it is found that the new methods are more efficient and have several advantages over some of the existing analytical methods.

In this paper, a well-known equation used in astrophysics and mathematical physics called the Lane-Emden equation is to be solved by a variational iteration method. The main purpose of this approach is to solve the singular initial value problems and also boundary value problem of Lane-Emden type equations. This technique overcomes its singularity at origin rapidly. It gives the approximate and exact solution with easily computable terms. The approach is illustrated with some examples to show its reliability and compactness.

Lane-Emden equations are singular initial value problems and they are important in mathematical physics and astrophysics. The aim of this present paper is presenting a new numerical method for finding approximate solution to Lane-Emden type equations arising in astrophysics based on modified Hermite operational matrix of integration. The proposed technique is based on taking the truncated modified Hermite series of the solution function in the Lane-Emden equation and then transferred into a matrix equation together with the given conditions. The obtained result is system of linear algebraic equation using collection points. The suggested algorithm is applied on some relevant physical problems as Lane-Emden type equations.

In this paper we present a new kind of P-stable eighteenth-order six-step method for periodic initial-value problems. We add the fourth derivatives to our previous P-stable six-step method to increase the accuracy. We apply two classes of well-known problems to our new method and compare it with the previous methods. The numerical results show that the new method is much more stable, accurate and efficient than the previous methods.

Using a new methodology for deriving hybrid Numerov-type schemes, we present new explicit methods for the solution of second order initial value problems with oscillating solutions. The new methods attain algebraic order eight at a cost of eight function evaluations per step which is the most economical in computational cost that can be found in the literature. The methods have high amplification and phase-lag order characteristics in order to suit to the solution of problems with oscillatory solutions. The numerical tests in a variety of problems justify our effort.


In this paper we derive a P-stable trigonometric fitted Obrechkoff method with phase-lag (frequency distortion) infinity. It is easy to see, from numerical results presented, that the new method is much more accurate than previous methods.

In this paper we describe the construction of stable multistep multiderivative methods designed for continuous numerical integration of stiff systems of initial value problems in ordinary dierential equations. These methods are obtained based on the multistep collocation technique, which are shown to be A-stable, convergent with large regions of absolute stability. They are suitable for solving stiff systems of initial value problems with large eigenvalues lying close to the imaginary axis. Numerical experiments illustrate the behaviour of the methods, which show that they are competitive with stiff integrators that are known to have strong stability characteristic properties. Comparison of the solution curves obtained is in good agreement with the exact solutions which demonstrate the reliability and usefulness of the methods.

This paper presents the construction of the two-point and three-point block methods with additional derivatives for directly solving [Formula: see text]. The proposed block methods are formulated using Hermite Interpolating Polynomial and approximate the solution of the problem at two or three-point concurrently. The block methods obtain the numerical solutions directly without reducing the equation into the first order system of initial value problems (IVPs). The order and zero-stability of the proposed methods are also investigated. Numerical results are presented and comparisons with other existing block methods are made. The performance shows that the proposed methods are very efficient in solving the general third order IVPs.

AbstractHerein, we use the generalized Lucas polynomials to find an approximate numerical solution for fractional initial value problems (FIVPs). The method depends on the operational matrices for fractional differentiation and integration of generalized Lucas polynomials in the Caputo sense. We obtain these solutions using tau and collocation methods. We apply these methods by transforming the FIVP into systems of algebraic equations. The convergence and error analyses are discussed in detail. The applicability and efficiency of the method are tested and verified through numerical examples.

Two numerical methods- I2BBDF2 and I22BBDF2 that compute two points simultaneously at every step of integration by first providing a starting value via fourth order Runge-Kutta method are derived using Taylor series expansion. The two-point block schemes are derived by modifying the existing I2BBDF (5) method of Mohamad et al., (2018). Convergence and stability analysis of the new methods are established with the methods being of order two and A-stable in both cases. Despite the very low order of the new methods, the accuracy of these methods on some stiff initial value problems in the literature proves their superiority over existing methods of higher orders such as I2BBDF(5), BBDF(5), E2OSB(4) among others.
