  • Abstract
    In this work, we propose an efficient numerical algorithm based upon compact finite difference to solve Lane-Emden equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The presented method reduces the solution of Lane-Emden equations to the solution of a nonlinear system of equations. The numerical experiments show the accuracy and efficiency of this method.
