Great progress has been achieved in recent years in investigations of the dense degenerate matter and in calculations of white dwarf structure. Nevertheless the classical theory by Chandrasekhar (1967) describes the structure of white dwarf stars rather well, with accuracy of few precents. This theory leads to the following second-order differential equation:

where p is a constant parameter, 0 ≤ y < 1. In Eq. (1) the values of the parameter n = 0,1 and 2 correspond to the plane-symmetric, cylindrical and spherical self-gravitating configurations of degenerate matter.
