Method of integral equations in the polytropic theory of stars with axial rotation. II. Polytropes with indices $n>1$

A new method for finding solutions of the nonlinear equilibrium equations for rotational polytropes was proposed, which is based on a self-consistent description of internal region and periphery using the integral form of equations.  Dependencies of geometrical parameters, surface form, mass, moment of inertia and integration constants on angular velocity were calculated for indices $n=2.5$ and $n=3$.
