In this paper, we present a reliable study on extensions of the Bratu problem with boundary conditions. The work rests mainly on Adomian decomposition method and Padé approximants. The study shows a variety of approximations, one for each extension. The work highlights the effect of the extensions on the structure of the approximate solutions.
