Retracted: The rational third-kind Chebyshev pseudospectral method for the solution of the Thomas-Fermi equation over infinite interval (Q473777): Difference between revisions

Summary: We propose a pseudospectral method for solving the Thomas-Fermi equation which is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation on semi-infinite interval. This approach is based on the rational third-kind Chebyshev pseudospectral method that is indeed a combination of Tau and collocation methods. This method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Comparison with some numerical solutions shows that the present solution is highly accurate.
