The key purpose of this article is to introduce an efficient computational method for the approximate solution of the homogeneous as well as non-homogeneous nonlinear Lane-Emden type equations. Using proposed computational method given nonlinear equation is converted into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations whose solution gives the approximate solution to the Lane-Emden type equation. Various nonlinear cases of Lane-Emden type equations like standard Lane-Emden equation, the isothermal gas spheres equation and white-dwarf equation are discussed. Results are compared with some well-known numerical methods and it is observed that our results are more accurate.
