Abstract
The continuedfraction conversion method J Math Phys N Y29 1761 1988 is used to generate a homologous family of exact solutions to the LaneEmden equation ϕr″+2ϕr′/r+αϕr p =0 forp=5 An exact solution is also obtained for a generalization of the LaneEmden equation of the form −ϕr″−2ϕr′/r+αϕr2p+1+λϕr4p+1=0 for arbitrary α γ andp A condition is established for the generation of exact solutions from the method
