Abstract
The main objective of this work is to numerically solve three types of Fourth order Emden-Fowler equations by using Successive Differentiation Method (SDM) and to inspect its shape factor ‘k’ in detail. Numerical solutions and graphical illustrations give a detailed insight into the variation of numerical solution due to shape factor and evince the reason why ‘k’ is always kept positive. The singularity term in Emden-Fowler equations makes it difficult to find its analytical solution. It is usually arduous to obtain the numerical solutions due to its singularity. Successive Differentiation Method is easy to understand and give accurate results as compared to its contemporary methods. Graphical illustrations have been shown to establish our argument.
