Abstract For the numerical solution of the initial value problemy′=f(x,y), −1≦x≦1;y(−1)=y 0 a global integration method is derived and studied. The method goes as follows. At first the system of nonlinear equations is solved. The matrix (A i,k (n) ) of quadrature coefficients is “nearly” lower left triangular and the pointsx k,n ,k=1,2,...,n are the zeros ofP n −P n−2, whereP n is the Legendre polynomial of degreen. It is showed that the errors From the valuesf(x i,n ,y i,n ),i=1,2,...,n an approximation polynomial is constructed. The approximation is Chebyshevlike and the error at the end of the interval of integration is particularly small.
