Abstract
Lane–Emden equation is a nonlinear singular equation in the astrophysics that corresponds to the polytropic models. In this paper, a pseudospectral technique is proposed to solve the Lane–Emden type equations on a semi-infinite domain. The method is based on rational Legendre functions and Gauss–Radau integration. The method reduces solving the nonlinear ordinary differential equation to solve a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The comparison of the results with the other numerical methods shows the efficiency and accuracy of this method.
