Haar Adomian Method for the Solution of Fractional Nonlinear Lane-Emden Type Equations Arising in Astrophysics

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method for solving some well-known classes of fractional Lane-Emden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-infinite domain. The method is proposed by utilizing Haar wavelets in conjunction with Adomian's decomposition method. The operational matrices for the Haar wavelets are derived and constructed. Procedure of implementation and convergence analysis of the method are presented. The method is tested on the fractional standard Lane-Emden equation and the fractional isothermal gas spheres equation. We compare the results produce by present method with some well-known results to show the accuracy and applicability of the method.
