  • Abstract
    In this paper, an efficient high-order compact finite difference (HOCFD) scheme is introduced for solving generalized Lane-Emden equations. For nonlinear types, it is shown that a combined quasilinearization and HOCFD scheme gives excellent results, while a few quasilinear iterations are needed. Then the proposed method is developed for solving the system of linear and nonlinear Lane-Emden equations. Some numerical examples are provided, and the obtained results of the proposed method are then compared with previous well-established methods. The numerical experiments show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
