In deriving this method, the approximate power series function is interpolated at {xn, xn+r, xn+s} while its third and fourth derivatives are collocated at {xn, xn+r, xn+s, xn+t and xn+1} in the given interval. Not only the developed method possesses good numerical method properties but it also out performs the existing methods when solving the same problems. ER -
