Emden equation is the non-linear differential equation with initial conditions ( ) ( ) 0 ,1 0 0 2 2 2 + = −y y = y = dx dy dx x d y n For n=0,1,5 the differential equation has analytic solutions ,for n=2,3,4 it has solutions in series , for other positive values of n it can be solved numerically. The solutions which are important are those for which n=1.5 and n=3 which are used in astrophysics while the solution that we need is for n=3.The solution for n=3, we denote by θ(x) and call it the Emden function. It is curious that the solution we have found has connections to stars. The graph of θ(R) and a related graph θ(R) + Rθ (R) are drawn in the same figure and shown here.
