Abstract

A hybrid computational procedure of Newton Raphson method and orthogonal collocation has been applied to study the behaviour of non-linear astrophysics equations. The non-linear Lane Emden equation has been discretized using the orthogonal collocation method using $n^{th}$-order Bessel polynomial as $J_n(\xi)$ as base function. The system of collocation equations has been solved numerically using Newton Raphson's method. Numerical examples have been discussed to check the reliability and efficiency of the scheme. Numerically calculated results have been compared to the exact values as well as the values already given in the literature to check the compatibility of the scheme. Error analysis has been studied by calculating the absolute error, $L_2- norm$ and $L_{\infty}- norm$. Computer codes have been prepared using MATLAB.
