Abstract

In this research article, a numerical approach
to the solutions of different forms of Emden-Fowler is presented. The variational
Iteration Method (VIM) has been applied to a wide class of problems in
mathematical physics, biology and chemical reactions. The solutions provided in
this research proved that the method converged rapidly with easily computable
terms

Keywords
