Abstract

This paper deals with the numerical solution of boundary value problems of the type:

$$y'' = f(x,y,y'); y(a) = A, y(b) = B.$$

In the case when the first derivative does not explicitly appear the problem has been faced by the author in [2], where a new approach has been suggested to improve the results given by the classical methods. In the following pages such an approach is extended to the above complete equation, and a new iterative algorithm is presented to solve the obtained discrete systems.
