Abstract

In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is used to study systems of linear and nonlinear equations of Emden–Fowler type arising in astrophysics. The VIM overcomes the singularity at the origin and the nonlinearity phenomenon. The Lagrange multipliers for all cases of the parameter α,α>0, are determined. The work is supported by examining specific systems of two or three Emden–Fowler equations where the convergence of the results is emphasized.
