LITERATURE REVIEW
In this section, we shall look precisely into various numerical methods, which involves the idea of discretization, in which the continuous interval of x is replaced by discrete point defined by (2.1)
The parameter h is called the step length.
If donate an approximation to the solution of of the Initial Value Problems at the points then
Numerical method is a difference equation involving a number of consecutive approximation yn+y for which it could be possible to compute sequentially the sequence such that. Numerical methods are usually needed for solving differential equations of the form such that
Hence, we shall examine various methods to use in solving the problem.
One Step Methods
The conservational one step method for the IVP is described as follows:
Where (2.3)
is the movement function and is the step size adopted in sub-interval
The following definitions highlight and describe one step method.
Definitions Associated with one step Methods
- The one step method is said to be consistent provided the incremental function satisfies the relation then consistency of the one step method is to enable that the method is at least of order one
- The Local Truncation Error (LTE) of one step method is given as (2.4)
Definition Fatunla (1988)
The one step method is said to be of order p, if p is the positive integer such that (2.5a)
A global error of the one step method is the difference between the theoretical solution and numerical solution.

MAPLE software was used to code the schemes derived and they were tested on some numerical problems.
Numerical Experiment and Results

- The results obtained were comparable and even better than some existing results
CONCLUSION
A collocation and interpolation approach which produced an order ten scheme has been proposed for the numerical integration of Initial Value Problems in Ordinary Differential Equations. The errors arising from the problems in Table 5.3c using the proposed method is compared with those obtained by skwame eltal (2012), Abubakar eltal (2014), Areo and Adeniyi, (2009), and serisenal eltal (2004) respectively who earlier solved the same problem while the error arising from Table 5.3b were compared with Abubakar M. Bakoji Ali M. Bukar, Muktar I. Bello (2014).
The comparative analysis of our literature in the comparative analysis of our table revealed that we have successfully derived a higher order with better accuracy when compared with existing methods in our literature
