Abstract

We present a derivative free rational one step scheme of order two, capable of solving Ordinary differential equations which are stiff and others with singular solution. The scheme allows for the use of the state function alone and does not require calculation of higher derivatives of f(yn), and the proposed strategy was compared to the scheme of Van-Niekerk of which almost similar results were obtained for stiff problems.
