Abstract
The solution of the one dimensional planar Bratu equation is characterized by having two branches. The two branches meet at a limit point that can be obtained through the solution of an eigen-relation. In this paper a transformation is introduced to transform this highly non-linear problem to a linear one. Rational expressions are given for the solution of the Bratu equation and the limit point. This is done using collocation and perturbation techniques.
