A new operational matrix based on Boubaker polynomials for solving fractional Emden-Fowler problem

In this paper the singular Emden-Fowler equation of fractional order is introduced and a computational method is proposed for its numerical solution. For the approximation of the solutions we have used Boubaker polynomials and defined the formulation for its fractional derivative operational matrix. This tool was not used yet, and here introduced for the first time. The operational matrix of the Caputo fractional derivative tool converts these problems to a system of algebraic equations whose solutions are simple and easy to compute. Numerical examples are examined to prove the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed method to find approximate and precise solutions.
