Abstract

This study presents a robust semi-analytical algorithm for solving third-order nonlinear Emden--Fowler type equations, which frequently arise in astrophysics, chemical reactor theory, and mathematical physics. The proposed algorithm leverages the Differential Transform Method (DTM) to simplify the complexities introduced by nonlinear terms, transforming them into manageable algebraic equations. The novelty of this approach lies in its ability to handle singular behavior at $x=0$ while maintaining high computational efficiency and accuracy. Rigorous error analysis confirms the algorithm's rapid convergence and superior accuracy compared to existing methods. Numerical experiments validate the theoretical predictions, highlighting the algorithm's effectiveness and reliability in solving complex nonlinear differential equations.
