Selcuk Journal of Applied Mathematics, 10 (2), 67-74.1302-7980https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/10479URL: http://sjam.selcuk.edu.tr/sjam/article/view/236In this paper, a numerical method for solving Thomas -Fermi equation which plays very important role in applied mathematics and physics is proposed. The proposed scheme is based on the fractional differential transform method (FDTM) and Padapproximants. This method is approached to ?nd the numerical values of the initial slope of the Thomas-Fermi potential y'(0). In addition, the numerical results demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new technique. Finally, a comparison is made with existing results.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFractional differential transform methodFraksiyonel diferansiyel dönüşüm yöntemiModified decomposition methodModifiye ayrıştırma yöntemiVariational iteration methodVaryasyonlu iterasyon yöntemiThomas Fermi equationThomas Fermi denklemiArticle106774
