  In this paper, we developed a new numerical scheme which aimed to solve some initial value problems of ordinary differential equations. The full breakdown of this new numerical scheme derivation is presented. While in our subsequent research, we shall fully examine the characteristics of the scheme such as consistency, convergence and stability. Also, the implementation of this new numerical scheme shall be worked-on and comparison shall also be made with some existing methods.

Introduction</title><p>Many numerical analysts such as: S. O. Fatunla [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref1">1</xref>] , E. A. Ibijola [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref2">2</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref3">3</xref>] , R. B. Ogunrinde [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref4">4</xref>] and even A. A. Obayomi [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref5">5</xref>] and so on, have developed schemes for the solution of some initial value problem of ordinary differential equations. The efficiency of all these contributed effort from this numerical analyst in numerical analysis had been measured and tested for their stability, accuracy, convergence and consistency properties. The accuracy properties of different methods are usually compared by considering the order of convergence as well as the truncation error coefficients of the various methods (C. F. Tischer, 1984). From literatures, this shows that so many methods which are suitable for solving some sets of initial value problems (ivps) in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) must have all the mentioned characteristics.</p><p>Ogunrinde, R. B. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref4">4</xref>] , developed a scheme in which standard finite difference schemes were developed. Similarly, Obayomi, A. A. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref5">5</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65182-ref6">6</xref>] , also worked on some approximation techniques which was used to derive qualitatively stable non-standard finite difference schemes.</p><p>In this paper, a new numerical scheme was developed with the above mentioned characteristics in mind to solve some initial value problems of ordinary differential equations which was based on the local representation of the theoretical solution to initial value problem of the form:</p><p><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/6-1100504x6.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>in the interval <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/6-1100504x7.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> by interpolating function <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/6-1100504x8.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>, where<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/6-1100504x9.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/6-1100504x10.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/6-1100504x11.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>and b are real undetermined coefficients.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.
