This manuscript presents an efficient pair of hybrid Nyström techniques to solve second-order Lane–Emden singular boundary value problems directly. One of the proposed strategies uses three off-step points. The obtained formulas are paired with an appropriate set of formulas implemented for the first step to avoid singularity at the left end of the integration interval. The fundamental properties of the proposed scheme are analyzed. Some test problems, including chemical kinetics and physical model problems, are solved numerically to determine the efficiency and validity of the proposed approach.

We present a hybrid heuristic computing method for the numerical solution of nonlinear singular boundary value problems arising in physiology. The approximate solution is deduced as a linear combination of some log sigmoid basis functions. A fitness function representing the sum of the mean square error of the given nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) and its boundary conditions is formulated. The optimization of the unknown adjustable parameters contained in the fitness function is performed by the hybrid heuristic computation algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA), interior point algorithm (IPA), and active set algorithm (ASA). The efficiency and the viability of the proposed method are confirmed by solving three examples from physiology. The obtained approximate solutions are found in excellent agreement with the exact solutions as well as some conventional numerical solutions.
